fix on top of .26 which fixed all object problems. The object problems were the emails I
sent to the list indicating objects I couldn’t delete or modify and .28 fixed those
problems. This is where i feel i was a little trapped and had to come forward to the
bleeding edge. there was a method to my madness and didn’t this just willy nilly and
hence where i was hoping for .29 to i might have a good mix of things - even if it was on
the bleeding edge. i hope this makes sense.

call "389-ds-base" in "epel6" is not really the official EPEL6
repository. It is an individual developer provided and supported fedorapeople (and now
copr) repository strictly for those who want to (or must) be on the "bleeding"
edge of the 1.2.11 branch - those who absolutely require bug fixes or features that are
present in the upstream 1.2.11 branch, but are not yet in the official EL6.5 389-ds-base
package.

see various pages but not the repository itself.
