release 0.5 of nss-ldapd

[Arthur de Jong-3]

Development of nss-ldapd, has reached a new milestone with most of the
LDAP query code rewritten in the just released 0.5 version.
  http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/nss-ldapd/

This release brings major structural changes in the LDAP lookup code
with improved reconnect and timeout logic, Kerberos ccname support,
support for IPv6 addresses in host entries, DNS SRV record lookup
support, a fix for a small memory leak and many other code and
documentation improvements.

At this point the nss-ldapd code is in such a shape that adding back
missing features is feasible again. Patches are always welcome. If there
are any features you are missing, please speak up.

For more information and changes in this release, please see the URL
above. Any feedback is still greatly appreciated.

I don't exactly understand what you mean but in Debian there are
packages for both nss_ldap [1] and nss-ldapd [2]. I'm a Debian developer
so I'm both "upstream" for nss-ldapd as well as package maintainer.

[1] http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libnss-ldap&exact=1
[2] http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libnss-ldapd&exact=1
