Egg news :-)

[Torsten Kurbad]

Hi list,

it's been a while, but I finally managed to build some fresh
Python-LDAP 2.3.8 eggs. In particular:

- Win32 (Statically linked to OpenLDAP 2.4.16 and OpenSSL 0.9.8k, no
  further DLLs necessary.)
- MacOS X 10.3 through 10.5 (Statically linked to OpenLDAP 2.4.16 and
  dynamically bound to the Cyrus-SASL and OpenSSL libs that ship with
  OS X 10.5.7 - only tested on 10.5.7 Intel - testers welcome!!!)
- Linux x86 and x86_64 (aka amd64) (Built on Gentoo Linux, dynamically
  linked to OpenLDAP 2.4.16, Cyrus-SASL 2.1.23, OpenSSL 0.9.8k, all
  compiled with glibc-2.10.1)

All eggs are available for Python versions 2.4 through 2.6 and can be
downloaded via

	http://svn.kmrc.de/download/distribution/contrib/

@Michael: Can you please add the '/contrib/' subdir to the download
link on the webpage and replace the HTML snippet beginning with
"For the .egg files to work [...]" up to "[...] from the same directory
as the .egg files" by the following lines (provided you have no
objections to them, of course. ;-)

--- snip ---

Prerequisites:

<ul>
  <li>
    <b>for Linux:</b> OpenLDAP-2.4.16, OpenSSL-0.9.8k, and
    Cyrus-SASL-2.1.23 must be properly installed on your system.
  </li>
  <li>
    <b>for MacOS X:</b> The .egg files are statically linked to
    OpenLDAP 2.4.16, but only tested on OS X 10.5.7 Intel.<br>
    <b>Testers with 10.3 through 10.4 and/or PPC machines are
    welcome!</b>
  </li>
  <li>
    <b>for MS Windows:</b> The Windows eggs are statically linked to
    all necessary libraries and should run out of the box.
  </li>
</ul>

Btw.: Earlier today I sent the same mail to the list, but tried to send
the snippet as an attachment. That didn't seem to work, probably due to
SF list restrictions...

Best regards,
Torsten
