[Fedora-directory-announce] Fedora DS core is now in Fedora Extras

[Richard Megginson]

Many thanks again to Dennis Gilmore, and to Jarod Wilson, the Fedora DS 
community, and all of those who reviewed the package.  Once the mirrors 
are updated, on fc-5 and fc-7 (the fc-6 build systems are having 
problems at the moment), you should be able to do a 'yum install 
fedora-ds'.  Details about the work involved are here - 
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/FDS_Into_FedoraCore

There are some things you should be aware of if you plan to try this out 
or deploy it:
* This version of the Fedora DS is just the core only.  It does not 
contain any of the console, admin server, gateway, or other web 
applications.  Those will be submitted as separate packages in the near 
future.  However, the Fedora DS comes complete with all of the command 
line management tools and can be managed via LDAP.
* This version is not the "official" 1.1.0 version, but rather a 
pre-release, the version that is very close to being the 1.1.0 candidate.
* There are no migration scripts provided, and the wiki documentation is 
a bit sparse at the moment.

The next steps:
* write migration scripts/docs so people can migrate from 1.0 to 1.1
* update the wiki docs, especially the install guide and Building page
* work on getting the console and admin server code into fedora
