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.
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 :( ).
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 customer, please contact GSS about this procedure. You can do this through your RH account.
If you are not a customer, you can choose to upgrade to CentOS7 or EL7 equivalent and use the 389-ds-base package that is supported.
The upgrade should be very straightforward, so I hope that this helps you.
