Description of problem:

Red Hat has dropped OpenLDAP servers package, but OpenLDAP is still widely used and actively developed and maintained.

I suggest it gets included in EPEL build.
Comment 1 Carl George 🤠 2021-06-16 17:19:27 UTC 
The package review component is for submitting new packages after you've created a spec file [0].  It is not a wishlist to ask other people to do the work.

If you'd like to start this work, there are a few things to be aware of.

- openldap-server is a subpackage from the openldap spec file.
- RHEL8 ships all the other subpackages, and thus the name openldap is blocked from being requested for an epel8 branch.

In order to ship just openldap-servers in EPEL8, the following would have to happen.

- Create a new openldap-servers.spec file based on the RHEL8 spec file [1] but removing all other subpackages and files to avoid conflicts with packages shipped in RHEL8.
- Submit a package review for openldap-servers.
- Once approved and added, keep the EPEL openldap-servers.spec file in sync with the RHEL openldap.spec file over time.

Hope it's OK to re-open this 'bug' to submit the SPEC file, src.rpm and the binary x86_64.rpm.

This is my first package in Fedora 'universe'.

I adapted the SPEC file to build just the openldap-servers binary package - the SPEC file is still named openldap.spec and the resulting src.rpm is also named 'openldap' - should these also be changed to 'openldap-servers' ?

All the files are available on copr:
