There are still some of you in the 389 community that are running on
EL5, and we haven't had an update for quite some time.
The 389 team has backported some fixes that allow the 1.2.11 branch to
build on EL5.
There is a new build in epel-testing for EL5 - 389-ds-base-1.2.11.24-1.el5
If you use EL5, please try out the new package and give us your feedback.
