heres the summary of all changes/extensions: - Andrew Bartlett's patch to generate indext - Howard Chu's idea to use nosync on the DB included, but made optional - slaptest-path is not needed any more (slapd -Ttest is used instead) and is therefore removed. slapd-path is now recommended when openldap-backend is chosen. its also used for olc-conversion - slapd-detection is now always done by ldapsearch (ldb module), looking anonymous for objectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE via our ldapi_uri. - if ldapsearch was not successfull, (no slapd listening on our socket) slapd is started via special generated slapdcommand_prov (ldapi_uri only) - slapd-"provision-process" startup is done via pythons subprocess. - the slapd-provision-pid is stored under paths.ldapdir/slapd_provision_pid. - after provision-backend is finished: --- slapd.pid is compared with our stored slapd_provision_pid. if the are unique, slapd.pid will be read out, and the slapd "provison"-process will be shut down. --- proper slapd-shutdown is verified again with ldb-search -> ldapi_uri -> rootDSE. --- if the pids are different or one of the pid-files is missing, slapd will not be shut down, instead an error message is displayed to locate slapd manually --- extended help-messages (relevant to slapd) are always displayed, e.g. the commandline with which slapd has to be started when everythings finished (slapd-commandline is stored under paths.ldapdir/slapd_command_file.txt)) - upgraded the content of the mini-howto (howto-ol-backend-s4.txt)
