good to know...thanks. I found it confusing because I attended a Red Hat
road show in October that was demonstrating freeIPA.

I was the one who actually started the thread on CentOS list, spent a
couple of hours trying to build freeIPA 1.2.x from source rpm from
Fedora 10, probably was close but didn't succeed. I really didn't want
to bother with 1.0.x - I mean, I have OpenLDAP working already and I
just wanted to play with freeIPA.

At the same time I asked CentOS list, I also subscribed to this list but
there hasn't been any traffic.

At the point where you have something that I could reasonably have a
chance at succeeding building on CentOS (I think I installed some
libraries from Fedora 10 too), I'd be happy to take a shot at it. I'm
obviously much more interested in v2 than v1.2.x and all of my googling
didn't turn up much beyond building 1.0.x late last summer.
