There's already various docker containers running ADS: https://hub.docker.com/r/h3nrik/apacheds/ In most cases I think this is better than a PPA.

FTR (I had no idea what it was), a PPA is a Personal Package Archive (https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA), so basically, a repository that you can create and that wll contain your own packages. It may be useful in a company that develops their own packages, when they want to make them available to all their computers. IMHO, it seems totally overkilling, unless someone wants to take care of it and maintain it (I won't). And there is a coraletral problem : how will we manage to setup a correct version of Java if we provide an ApacheDS package ? this is the blocker when I tried to work on a PPA sometime ago, Oracle Java is not available in the public repos and we have never tested the server with IcedTea and OpenJDK. Thoughts ?
