Release of the CentOS Directory Server
by Tim Verhoeven 26 May '09

26 May '09

The CentOS project is pleased to announce the first public release of the CentOS Directory Server (CDS). The CentOS Directory Server is a rebuild of the Red Hat Directory server. It is LDAP server developed in the Fedora project and has a long history. It started as the Netscape Directory Server but it got purchased by Red Hat and they released it as free software. CDS will be available in the CentOS Extras repository for CentOS 5 and requires at least CentOS 5.3 because it requires the OpenJDK packages that are new since 5.3. There are currently no plans to build CDS for CentOS 4. More information on how to install CDS and where to find documentation is available at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DirectoryServerSetup. Feedback about CDS can be given in all the regular channels available (Forums, Mailing lists, IRC, etc.). We hope that you will enjoy CDS and we would to thank all the people that helped in testing to make this release possible. -- Tim Verhoeven - tim(a)centos.org The CentOS Project - http://www.centos.org/

New list: CentOS-Mirror-Announce
by Ralph Angenendt 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi, there's a new CentOS mailing list on the block: CentOS-mirror-announce This list is for announcement from the CentOS team to public mirror admins, containing trivia like issues with our mirror network, new releases, changes in how we do mirroring and so on. This list is thought to be for those busy mirror admins, who don't want to follow the centos-mirror list due to too many postings. CentOS-mirror-announce is a very low traffic mailing list. CentOS-mirror-announce is *not* a discussion list. Mirror admins will still be required to announce their newly created mirrors, but if you decide that the traffic gets too much for you, you can subscribe to the mirror-announcement list. The mirror list is subscribed to receive a daily digest of CentOS-mirror-announce, so non-subscribers of the announcement list will not miss any mails going to that list. On behalf of the CentOS team, Ralph Angenendt
