Package: ezmlm-idx-ldap / ldap2ezmlm
System name: ezmlmidxldap
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

I have called my project ezmlm-idx-ldap. My project is an extension
on the ezmlm-idx mailinglist program (www.ezmlm.org). My project allready 
exists and consists of two parts. The first part of my project makes it 
possible for ezmlm to use an ldap database as a subscriber database. This part 
of my program depens on ezmlm-idx and openldap (www.openldap.org). This part 
uses the skeleton provided by ezmlm-idx.

I contacted the maintainer of ezmlm-idx, so it could be distributed along with 
the rest of ezmlm-idx, but he didn\'t respond.

The second part of the project makes it possible to configure ezmlm, with the 
configuration stored in an ldap database. I called this part
ldap2ezmlm.

This part consists of a program called ldap2ezmlm. This program searches the 
ldap database for mailinglist objects and uses this data to configure these 
mailinglists on the filesystem. So its kind of a wrapper on the existing 
configuration tool. ldap2ezmlm can also be run in daemon mode.

I am currently developing the project on the debian/linux platform, but it 
should work on any platform where ezmlm-idx and the openldap libraries work.

It already exists but is not yet available for download.
