From 77454c07ba109a3ea6af0da86ba954b28b1fd02f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simo Sorce Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:43:57 -0500 Subject: Remove our copies of the samba libraries. Packages are already available in debian unstable and will soon land in Fedora. See BUILD.TXT for details. We still keep libreplace as we still use its configure macros, until we find time to extract only waht we need and have our own macros. --- ldb/mainpage.dox | 80 -------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 80 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 ldb/mainpage.dox (limited to 'ldb/mainpage.dox') diff --git a/ldb/mainpage.dox b/ldb/mainpage.dox deleted file mode 100644 index bbd8d9c50..000000000 --- a/ldb/mainpage.dox +++ /dev/null @@ -1,80 +0,0 @@ -/** - -\mainpage ldb - -\section Overview - -ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database. It is not at all LDAP standards -compliant, so if you want a standards compliant database then please -see the excellent OpenLDAP -project.

- -What ldb does is provide a fast database with an LDAP-like API -designed to be used within an application. In some ways it can be seen -as a intermediate solution between key-value pair databases and a real -LDAP database.

- -ldb is the database engine used in Samba4. - -\section Features - -The main features that separate ldb from other solutions are: - - Safe multi-reader, multi-writer, using byte range locking - - LDAP-like API - - fast operation - - choice of local tdb, local sqlite3 or remote LDAP backends - - integration with talloc - - schema-less operation, for trivial setup - - modules for extensions (such as schema support) - - easy setup of indexes and attribute properties - - ldbedit tool for database editing (reminiscent of 'vipw') - - ldif for import/export - -\section Documentation - -ldb has limited programmer and administrator documentation: - - a list of functions - - a list of examples - - a list of data structures - - a list of constants - -If you need more information than is presented in this document, you -may wish to look at the source code, especially the source code in the -tools directory. - -ldb makes use of the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF), which is -documented in RFC -2849. - -\section Support - -ldb does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking -system. For now, please use the samba-technical -mailing list, and the Samba -bugzilla bug tracking system. - -\section Download - -You can download the latest release either via rsync or anonymous -svn. To fetch via svn use the following commands: - -\verbatim - svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/ldb ldb - svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/tdb tdb - svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/talloc talloc -\endverbatim - -To fetch via rsync use these commands: - -\verbatim - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/samba4/source/lib/ldb . - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/samba4/source/lib/tdb . - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/samba4/source/lib/talloc . -\endverbatim - -\section Credits - -ldb is another product of the prolific Andrew Tridgell. - -*/ -- cgit
