Dear all, I've maintained the net/phpldapadmin port for _many_ years. Unfortunately this project seems to have ceased development upstream. There hasn't been a new release for more than 5 years, nor any sign of life from the original developer over much the same timespan. PLA still just about works, but it is lacking in support for more recent versions of PHP and generally sufferring from lack of love. I'm beginning to think that it is about time to take this port around the back of the barn and administer the coup-de-grace. There are other graphical front-ends to LDAP directories available, such as 'LDAP Account Manager' https://www.ldap-account-manager.org/lamcms/ (in ports as sysutils/ldap-account-manager), so people won't be left entirely out to dry. What do people think? Is it time to deprecate and expire PLA, or is there a diehard core of users for whom PLA will need to be ripped from their cold, dead hands? Cheers, Matthew
