Description:
I'd like to have slapd overlays in openldap package they are very useful and add great features to slapd (password policy, replication, referential integrity etc.)
These are the configure switches to enable them as loadable modules "--enable-overlays=mod --enable-modules=yes"
(maybe the default modules path /usr/sbin/openldap should be changed...)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
openldap
This task depends upon

Adding these flags adds a dependency on libtool and a whole heap of libtool files. Not sure how to proceed...

Decided not to implement with the libldap-2.4 rebuild. I'll leave this for the maintainer to decide.

Wow assigned to dsa. This feature request is old! Any idea how other distributions handle this?

Fedora enabled this, but I've no idea. Neither I've objections.

I've recently set up my company server using ArchLinux, and I really need the overlay 'memberof'. Unfortunately ArchLinux does not ship OpenLdap with that :(.

Is there any progress on this issuse?
Is depending on libtool for building such a big problem?
Most of our developers use Arch Linux but without module support, we still have run Debian VMs on Arch, as Debian has support enabled.

Patches are welcome

Tested even building in a clean chroot, the only thing to be added is the above two switches (as seen in the supplied patch). Now openldap is working quite good with module support.

This PKGBUILD is another approach to build the overlays. As not every one wants the overlays, I made it a split package and changed some configure options, so that the decision of some features are not automatically chosen depending on the environment the package was compiled, instead they are always builtin (as modules).

As building the SQL backend requires some additional dependecies, I disabled it (it has never been enabled before) as this new PKGBUILD should only add module support, not directly a lot of new depenedencies (Should be a separate task).
