Like Adam already pointed out, it appears that it was mostly the client parts that got tested. Bodhi makes no difference between simple packages vs those that have half a dozen different subpackages consisting of wildly different functionality (such as client and server parts) that need completely different testing methods. Requiring separate acks/karma/whatever for each sub-package would be a huge overkill in most cases but then there are cases like this... Another related thing is that Berkeley DB which openldap uses is notoriously picky about getting updated. I'm fairly certain openldap does not update their bundled BDB version to prevent issues like this on minor updates, and AFAICT (based on a quick lookaround at the changelogs etc) in this case it was this fix to comply with our own policies (no bundled libraries) that bit us when synced with rawhide version: * Fri Aug 27 2010 Jan Vcelak <jvcelak@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.4.23-1 - rebase to 2.4.23 - embeded db4 library removed - Panu - -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
