[Freeipa-users] WARNING: Do not upgrade FreeIPA deployments to Fedora 20 final (yet)

[Alexander Bokovoy]

Hi,

an update on the issue of upgrading Fedora 19 to Fedora 20 for FreeIPA deployments.

An updated 389-ds-base package, 1.3.2.9-1.fc20 is in updates-testing repository. 
Updated slapi-nis package, 0.52-1.fc20, is in updates-testing as well.

I've tested that using fedora-upgrade tool to upgrade from Fedora 19 to Fedora 20 does work
if you have updates-testing repository enabled and that FreeIPA is continuing to work afterwards.

I've initiated move of 389-ds-base to updates stable repository. Once it reach out there, 
I'll lift a warning on freeipa.org and publish a final update.

Happy holidays!
