389 1.3 vs 1.4, CentOS 7

[Morgan Jones]

Hello!

Is it advisable to run 389 1.3 in production?

If not is there a suggested way to install 1.4 in CentOS 7?  On first blush to install 389
from source  it’s looking like I’m going to need to install libicu from source, the
version that ships is an older version:

thank you,

Hi Morgan,

389 1.3 and 1.4 are both advisable in production. You may hit some 
dependencies difficulties building 1.4 on centos7, as 1.3 was released 
on centos7 and 1.4 on centos8.

I would suggest that you upgrade to centos8 as 1.4 contains more 
features and improvements but if you target centos7 then 1.3 is the 
version to go.

my 2cts

regards
thierry

Thanks Thierry.  Does 389 1.3 have an end of life date?

We are a large school district and aren’t yet running Redhat 8 and may not for a
bit—another team makes that call.

389ds 1.3 is not a product so there is no EOL date, but the 1.3.x branches
become less active over time, and eventually with zero activity, more like
an archive.
The Red Hat Directory Server 10 / RHDS-10 product based on 389ds 1.3.x has
been EOL on RHEL-7, and the current active version is RHDS-11 on RHEL-8,
based on 389ds 1.4.x
