Hi All,
I am aware that RHDS9 goes EoL in March. As I understand it, 389 is effectively upstream of RHDS and thus not directly affected.
However, is there a similar roadmap for 389 please? i.e. is there a forecast time when yum-upgrade will no longer get the latest patches and fixes for 389 and a new install/upgrade/migration will be required?
Hi there,
RHDS9 correlates to the 389-ds-base 1.2.x series. RHDS10 correlates to the 389-ds-base 1.3.x series.
Ideal, thanks.
We do try to keep the 389-ds-base release dates in-sync with Red Hat's schedules, but we are unable to disclose what those schedules are publicly. Sorry! For your purposes, assume that when RHDS9 is EOL, that 389-ds-base 1.2.x will be also (sorry, but we don't really have a lot of investment in maintaining older code bases once they go EOL in RH :( ).
Yes, I quite understand. Maintenance updates for 5 years isn't too shabby :)
For you, you may find that the best course of action is to prepare to upgrade and migrate to 1.3.x (RHDS10). If you are a supported RHEL
Will do. That's my next step now I'm clear. I'll try out the two methods described in the docs.
As a follow up, here are our public product support dates.
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/directory/
Directory Server 9 according to this page states:
Maintenance support: Jun 10, 2015 – Jun 10, 2017
It is likely that as an upstream project, on this date we will cease 1.2.x support. Please contact your RH account representative for more information.
Thanks for all that William.
I'll get to work :)
cheers. Ric.
