[389-users] Re: Question about 389-ds versions for RHEL

Hello, I had similar concerns over the past year. The packages available through the various repos are either old or generally not updated. The packages which are included in the distros are fine, but no package for cockpit is available. So we choose to setup a separate VM with the same OS with our new LDAP servers. In our case it was Oracle Linux 9.x We followed the instructions on https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/development/building.html and manage to compile various 2.x versions of 389DS. The we took the created rpms and installed 389DS on our servers. After a couple of months of testing, we are running in production. We also tried to compile various 3.x versions, but we did not succeed. The binaries were compiled successfully but the rpm packaging failed. My personal opinion is that the development of the project is focuses for Fedora OS and not RHEL clones. So as RHEL clones have older version of various packages (e.g various python modules), the build is not always successfully in RHEL clones. Antonis On 7/7/2026 4:40 μ.μ., Bryan K.
