Description: This is my first package and I'll need a sponser -- I have an
account (ssalley) at fedorapeople.org but don't seem to have upload rights. 

likewise-open joins Unix, Linux, and Mac machines to Microsoft Active Directory
and securely authenticates users.

This package is intended for Fedora 12.

This is the first version to support SELinux -- we've previously asked users to
disable SELinux. We now have a policy in Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 and apply
contexts to home directories when they are created.

The build system Likewise uses is quite ugly (I'm a Likewise employee) as we
support many different versions of Unix and have to sometimes create 'fat'
packages to support 32/64-bit components in one package. I've done my best to
shoehorn this into the RPM build system and to package the results in standard
way.

The source code comes from a git repository
(git://git.likewiseopen.org/likewise-open.git) mirrored off of a (internal to
Likewise) Subversion repository. This release corresponds to revision 42111 in
the subversion system (subversion revisions are visible in the git repository).

Patches are applied and are mostly related to positioning files for the FHS as
we generally drop things in /opt/likewise. I have a patch for supporting
SELinux that has not yet been integrated upstream.

Components from OpenLDAP and Kerberos are also included as private components
(/usr/lib/likewise-open). We regularly submit patches to these projects, but it
can take a while for them to get accepted (I believe the changes we need are
already in the packages for Fedora 13).
