Hi there,
I'm trying to get started testing out Fedora Directory Server with the
goal of replacing our OpenLDAP infrastructure. Most of our servers are
RHEL3/4 so there are no big issues there since there are already
prepackaged binary RPMS for those platforms.
But we do have two RHEL2.1 server which we will definitely need
packages for in order to do any migration to FDS. Upgrading these
servers to RHEL3/4 is not an option. Looking at the spec file of the
SRPM from RHEL3 it seems like dependencies won't be a problem, the
spec file itself is a mess and doesn't come close to building
everything (which I understand is a work in progress).
So my questions are: has anyone got FDS running well on RHEL2.1
(either by compiling directly from source, shoehorning the RPM from
RHEL3 or building the RPM from the SRPM)? Has anyone written their own
spec file from scratch to build FDS in its entirety from sources? I
also wanted to change the installation prefix from /opt so getting a
working and complete spec file would be very desirable.
It's going to be a few
weeks until we have a buildable srpm. In the
meantime, I suggest you try
