[Mono-devel-list] Mono's Novell.Directory.Ldap namespace and JLDAP

[Boris Kirzner]

Hello Sunil,

Recently we began to work with Mono's System.DirectoryServices 
implementation. A short investigation showed us that this implementation 
is based on the Novell.Directory.Ldap namespace implementation, which is 
actually a C# port of JLDAP (as far as I can understand - done by you).

After I began committing my bug fixes to Novell.Directory.Ldap, I found 
that you are also working on the same issues on JLDAP. For example, 
inspecting my latest fix for the "Modify DN request"
(http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/mcs/class/Novell.Directory.Ldap/Novell.Directory.Ldap.Rfc2251/RfcModifyDNRequest.cs?rev=42336&r1=20366&r2=42336 
<http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/mcs/class/Novell.Directory.Ldap/Novell.Directory.Ldap.Rfc2251/RfcModifyDNRequest.cs?rev=42336&r1=20366&r2=42336>)
I found that you made a fix for the same problem (and your fix is much 
more complete than mine)
(http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/com/novell/ldap/rfc2251/RfcModifyDNRequest.java.diff?r1=1.18&r2=1.19&cvsroot=JLDAP&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0&f=h 
<http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/com/novell/ldap/rfc2251/RfcModifyDNRequest.java.diff?r1=1.18&r2=1.19&cvsroot=JLDAP&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0&f=h>)

Since you are the major (and probably, the only) contributor to JLDAP 
and the creator of its C# port, can you please update me about the 
current maintenance status of Novell.Directory.Ldap? Is it maintained by 
somebody to reflect the recent changes in JLDAP? Or, alternatively, does 
it have a maintenance cycle of its own and who is responsible for that?

Thank you in advance,
Boris Kirzner
