Hello,
I'm happy to announce the availability of the CentOS Directory Server (CDS) for testing. The exact details on how to install it can be found on this wiki page :
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/DirectoryServerSetup
Besides functional testing of CDS it would also be great if you could watch out for errors in the rebranding (meaning the use of upstream's name and/or logo).
Any issues you encounter are to be reported here, but you can also come to the #centos-qa IRC on freenode for support. Also the documentation for CDS can be found on our website at http://www.centos.org/docs/5/.
Besides CDS there are other things in the testing repo on dev.centos.org that could use some testing. These include the openjdk 1.6 java version, the vm kernels (tuned for use inside VMWare etc) and a newer version of mysql. We are also looking for feedback on those things so we can move stuff to CentOS Extras or CentOS Plus.
Happy testing, Tim

Hello
Any plans to build CDS for Centos 4? I have large centos 4 installation base and cannot upgrade to centos 5 but would like to use CDS.
SRPMS for RHEL4 are available from the upstream provider, I was not able to compile those, is there anyone that has compiled those for Centos 4?
Regards, Kimmo Koivisto

I don't think that we have a redistributable java available for C4. For C5 we have the openjdk one that is used to build CDS. But without a such a java on C4 there is not much point in building CDS for C4. You could just build the actual server (the <brand>-ds-base package) and use the commandline tools to manage it. But I think it isn't a good idea to distribute only that for C4.
If someone can get openjdk working on C4 I'm open to revisited this and started making CDS for C4.
Regards, Tim

I will look at getting a java to build for c4, but I am not very hopeful that it will work.
Hi Tim,
What's the current plan for CDS? It's been ages since I saw any activity around it. Upstream has released a few updates, which it would be nice to have, and it would be nice if it could leave Testing some day. Are there hopes to eventually move it to Extras, or its own repo, or is this how it is going to stay?
I have a few in-house projects that I'm hoping to build on top of CDS and FreeIPA, but I don't want to push them until CDS is somewhat officially released. Is there anything I can do to help make this happen?
Thanks,
-Brandon
