Summary: Review Request: migrationtools - Migration scripts for LDAP Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: jsafrane@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-package-review@redhat.com,notting@redhat.com
Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/jsafrane/migrationtools/migrationtools.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/jsafrane/migrationtools/migrationtools-47-1.fc8.src... Description: The MigrationTools are a set of Perl scripts for migrating users, groups, aliases, hosts, netgroups, networks, protocols, RPCs, and services from existing nameservices (flat files, NIS, and NetInfo) to LDAP.
The migration tools were packaged as part of openldap-servers rpm. This is not good because: - migrationtools have different upstream than openldap - users may want to have openldap without migrationtools - users do not know where to find migrationtools and they do not know it's part of openldap-servers. - the maintenance of migrationtools can be independent on openldap
The migrationtools use slapadd and ldapadd internally, therefore the new package naturally depends on openldap-clients and openldap-servers. I will leave a short README.migration in openldap-servers, so users used to install openldap-servers will know where the migrationtools are.
You can find both new openldap and migrationtools packages on http://people.redhat.com/jsafrane/migrationtools/
