I have heard rumours from some Red Hat employees that IPA will be integrated into Spacewalk this was about 1.5 months ago which would also make sense since Spacewalk is supposed to be their single point of management tool. But as I said it's rumours.

Rebuilding FreeIPA is probably possible too but how long will that be possible ? FreeIPA isn't looking at being backward compatible and don't focus on RHEL interopability. It can probably work for a certain time, but surely not as long as an Enterprise timelife ... That's maybe worth discussing it though. On the other hand, centos-ds is in the testing repo for a while and there were not a lot of feedback : the plan is/was to move it to extras when enough testing/reports have hit the -devel list ... -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
