[Freeipa-users] Adding a freeipa version 2 repo to RHEL 5

[Kambiz Aghaiepour]

Confirmed here as well.  We've been using version 1.2.1-4 from F11
sources built for CentOS5/RHEL5 for some time now.  I followed the
following write-up:

http://howtoforge.com/how-to-build-rhel-ipa-rpms-for-centos-5

along with ipa-1.2.1 (from base F11), as the howtoforge writeup points
to
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEIPA/SRPMS/
which only includes ipa-1.0.0. I have not tried to update to
ipa-1.2.2-2.fc11.src.rpm

Once we got everything up and running, updates from fedora-ds to 389-ds
seemed not to cause any issues and ipa was confirmed to work fine.
