OK, I didn't thought about changing le packagae name !

Very good idea to create lib packages !.
Where can we can SRPM of all your openldap2.2 packages ?

Yes, if you upgrade to openldap2.2, you need to rebuild every openldap 
libs dependant packages (php-ldap ... etc) to that newer version, except 
if you keep having the original distro openldap package (2.1.30).

I would prefer to have a look at openldap spec file, again, where can I 
get latest mandrake openldap2.2 SRPM ? (I suppose it uses mandrake rpm 
macros to be built :-( , as I don't have any mandrake here, where can I 
get mandrake rpmmacro file ?).

Thanks.
