In order to have control over the order that updates are applied a numbering system was created for the update files. These values were not actually used. The updates were sorted by DN length and in most cases this was adequate for proper function. The exception was with roles where in some cases a role was added as a member of a permission before the role itself was added so the memberOf value was never created. Now updates are computed and applied in blocks of 10. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3377
Ground rules on adding new schema Brand new schema, particularly when written specifically for IPA, should be added in share/*.ldif. Any new files need to be explicitly loaded in ipaserver/install/dsinstance.py. These simply get copied directly into the new instance schema directory. Existing schema (e.g. in an LDAP draft) may either be added as a separate ldif in share or as an update in the updates directory. The advantage of adding the schema as an update is if 389-ds ever adds the schema then the installation won't fail due to existing schema failing to load during bootstrap. If the new schema requires a new container then this should be added to install/bootstrap-template.ldif.
