[Fedora-directory-users] Fedora DS installation on Ubuntu Dapper Drake

[Olivier Brugman]

Hi all,

Thank you for the FDS software!

This morning I installed the Fedora Directory Server (FDS) on Ubuntu 
Dapper Drake (6.06 LTS). This procedure seems to work for me in order to 
get FDS running on the Dapper platform:

The procedure is almost equal to the existing howto for Ubuntu Breezy 
Badger and Debian GNU/Linux Sarge which is available at 
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:DebianUbuntu
I'll just describe the parts that deviate.

I installed the FDS on a clean minimal installation of Ubuntu Dapper 
Drake server-version (x86), which is available at 
http://www.ubuntu.com/download

As Dapper uses libc6 version 2.3.6 I took the Fedora Core 4-rpm (version 
1.0.2) as a base for conversion to '.deb'. You can download the rpm at 
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Download

The necessary termcap-compat package does not seem to be available for 
'Dapper', so I just used the 'Breezy' version of that package. 
termcap-compat depends on the 'libc5' and 'ldso' packages which aren't 
available for 'Dapper' eighter. You can get the Breezy-version of these 
packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com/

BTW, I used the Sun jdk 1.5.0_02.

After the installation of the fedora-ds .deb-package I used the 
setuputil and an existing 'install.inf' file (see example hereunder) to 
do a silent install of the FDS.

You can invoke the silent install like so:
sudo /opt/fedora-ds/setup/setup -s -f /opt/install.inf

Example install.inf:
