[Freeipa-users] Installing on CentOS 5.X?

[Gavin McQuillan]

I did manage to get the 1.0.0 version compiled and running on CentOS 5.6,
using the aforementioned spec file mucking.

But the suggested course would be to wait for CentOS 6.X, change to RHEL 6,
or is Fedora really the only distribution still being targeted?

Cheers,
-Gavin
