Thank you for the reply, Antonis. It is nice to know that I'm not the
only worried about this. Not only is there a question about the status
of the packages in the repo. The instructions on:
https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/download.html don't even work for
RHEL 10. Running "dnf copr enable @389ds/389-directory-server" results
in an error:
Error: It wasn't possible to enable this project.
Repository 'epel-10-x86_64' does not exist in project '@389ds/389-directory-server'.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will update the COPR repos and the instructions on the download page.

Indeed, we focus on Fedora and RHEL.
The core server (389-ds-base package) is available in the AppStream repos of RHEL and its clones, so you can install it directly with `dnf install 389-ds-base`. This version is very well tested, it goes through extensive QE cycles as part of the RHEL release process, and receives regular bug fixes and security updates throughout the RHEL lifecycle. However, the COPR versions have not received nearly the same level of testing as the RHEL version. They are community-provided builds that may work well, but they come without the same quality assurance guarantees.
