Hi debian-release, The last update of openldap in wheezy-security has never built on powerpc. I got access to the porterbox and found that the ppc64 kernel in jessie (presumably the buildds run the same kernel) uses a 64KB page size, while the MDB backend in wheezy only works with 4KB pages. This limitation has been resolved [ITS#7713] in jessie, but the changes are not trivial to backport, and I'm very concerned about regressing all arches if I were to make a mistake. Therefore I'm proposing that we disable the test suite on powerpc so that the package can build. I have built the proposed package on wheezy under qemu-system-ppc and run the entire test suite to ensure it passes. I also built it on the powerpc porterbox, installed the binaries on the qemu VM, and performed some additional manual testing. Of course I've also done my usual pre-upload testing (on amd64, in a clean wheezy chroot). Would you consider allowing this change into wheezy?
