[Freeipa-devel] Install on RHEL5 - pointers please

[Alex Davies]

Hi,

I have attempted to install freeIPA on a RHEL5 machine, using FC7
RPMs. This fails with a dependency failure. My steps are as follows:

1) Fully update (yum -y update) a clean install of RHEL5, i386

2) Add fedora-testing Repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/
#Add to /etc/yum.conf
[updates-testing]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Test Updates
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/7/i386/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

3) Run the command
[root at ipa yum.repos.d]# yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install ipa-server
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "security" plugin

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Many thanks,
