[389-users] Re: version upgrade advice

So just to be clear this specific copr repo is still my "go-to" for getting updates as per 389 Directory Server - Download ?

Builds for @389ds/389-directory-server

I do use the 389 cockpit plugin on occasion

Thx!

I see that there are other repos representing multiple versions that I could move to from here depending on what copr repo I point at

Project List

I am unsure if i should switch my repo and what is the easiest upgrade as well 🙂
migrating to Alma 9 is probably in the cards later this year as well so that might be a factor in picking a version ...

Unless you require WebUI, I recommend a version that ships with the distro itself. 

These upstream repos are maintained on the best-effort basis, and I will be working on bringing them up to date.

thx!
