Did Red Hat release a stable (non-beta) and GPL version of Directory Server, or Fedora Directory Server is the only thing we have now?
Can we have it on centosplus or extras?

It has a dependency on Java which cannot be met right now by CentOS (which will change in the near future, I guess).
Other than that - well, it seems to be hell to build at the moment (1.0.4), the 1.1 series will use autotools.
If the Java problem somehow can be met, I might take a look at it (or at the src.rpms which RedHat provides). But those are only for 1.0.2 - though I guess they should work with 1.0.4.

Okay, the src.rpms are completely useless, building balks out at the earliest level. I have no idea in which environment those might work.
The ds-build process works and throws out a perfectly installable rpm. It is even possible to build with java (so that you have the shiny console) and without java.
But I don't really want to put out an rpm for something without being able to provide the src.rpms for it.
Second thing is: The build process pulls in pretty many external dependencies. All of these should be checked for license issues (though I didn't see any real problems, but I only did a short check).
Third: The Fedora Trademark probably has to be pulled out (meaning that graphical elements have to be replaced).
I'd say that it's not really prime time for releasing Fedora Directory Server at the moment - Java and no working src.rpms being the issues where I see problems.
Any other opinions on that?

I absolutely agree that it is not ready currently to release as a CentOS product. Especially since the Fedora version is free and works exactly as advertised on CentOS if following their instructions to build.
What I would like to release is the RH Directory Services if/when they release the code.
Is anyone noticing a pattern here (RH Directory Server, RHWAS, no source code that works) :(
