That mostly looks to be a waste of time to me, specially given that Red Hat have made it public that FreeIPA might not really ever be a RHEL product line, and if it does make it, the packaging format etc will be very different from whats out there at the moment.
And to the idiot who wrote that article on howtoforge : ( how do they find such brain dead morons ? ) directly url'ing the testing repo is really not recommended.
---- I just sort of used that as a guideline and used EPEL first, Fedora-10 source second for packages to try to build because of things I noticed in the changelogs, etc. I managed to get all the requisites handled except for popt-devel which I discussed but that didn't seem to be the deal breaker.
Now that I recognize that the current version of freeipa wasn't meant to be built on RHEL, I will change course because I don't want to make that my mission if they don't.
