Hi there,
I'm trying to get started testing out Fedora Directory Server with the goal of replacing our OpenLDAP infrastructure. Most of our servers are RHEL3/4 so there are no big issues there since there are already prepackaged binary RPMS for those platforms.
But we do have two RHEL2.1 server which we will definitely need packages for in order to do any migration to FDS. Upgrading these servers to RHEL3/4 is not an option. Looking at the spec file of the SRPM from RHEL3 it seems like dependencies won't be a problem, the spec file itself is a mess and doesn't come close to building everything (which I understand is a work in progress).
So my questions are: has anyone got FDS running well on RHEL2.1 (either by compiling directly from source, shoehorning the RPM from RHEL3 or building the RPM from the SRPM)? Has anyone written their own spec file from scratch to build FDS in its entirety from sources? I also wanted to change the installation prefix from /opt so getting a working and complete spec file would be very desirable.
It's going to be a few weeks until we have a buildable srpm. In the meantime, I suggest you try http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Building#One-Step_Build
