Hi All,
If you're looking for a relatively simple solution the migration to
Rocky linux can be achieved relatively painlessly. We've been kicking
the tyres over the past few months and it fits our use case and Centos8
going forward doesn't. This isn't a shot at either Centos, Redhat or
IBM its a simple statement of fact given the future direction of
Centos.
They have a script for migration and the maintainer is one of the
original creators of Centos which provides a degree of assurance in
terms of project scope and continuity.
While I like Debian, the body of knowledge associated with Redhat based
platforms and relative complexity/fragility of freeIPA would make me
think twice before going down this path.
That being said, I would like to see a vibrant Debian freeIPA community
however depending upon your use case there may be some issues.
Regards
Ian

It looks like Bullseye doesn't even have the client, if I'm not
mistaken? After an upgrade, it's telling me that `freeipa-common` is no
longer needed and there's no longer a `freeipa-client` package.Is there
any way to get an idea of what the situation is with this?
