right, the server isn't ready, client is limping along though not seen
an update in a while.

here's a short summary:

- 389ds is packaged and included in Debian & Ubuntu
- Dogtag 9 is packaged in git and worked the last time I tried, not
  pushed to either distros, since..
- Dogtag 10 is close(?) and I'd rather skip the transition if possible,
  then again..
- D10 needs RESTEasy, which in turn depends on nearly 50 new bits of
  software that needs to be packaged, mostly java/maven based (and
  there's a helper that should automate most of the packaging, haven't
  tried it yet though)
- IPA server still needs the platform code rework, and I still need to
  rework the first patch to meet the review notes

so not quite there yet :)
