Yes, but it depends on a dyndb patch for bind9, won't even build
otherwise. I have bind-dyndb-ldap sitting in git until the patch is
added to Debian bind9, and contacted the maintainer yesterday so
things should get moving..

FreeIPA ships a separate package, bind-dyndb-ldap as an add-on for
bind 9. You should be able to do the same in Debian. We should connect
the bind-dyndb-ldap upstream with you so we can figure out if that
will work.

I don't think you can, guess it just needs some perseverance on my side..

the debian bind maintainer, I heard from the dyndb maintainer that
bind10 might support it natively, but getting that in Debian might still
be further in the future, so if we'd need dyndb by early next year it's
probably needed to have it via bind9 first.

pretty much, there have been some debian developers sponsoring packages
to the distro (I'm not a DD yet), but they've all fled before too long :)

How can we help?

Are you talking about byndb maintainer or bind9 Debian maintainer?
May be we should connect the two?

Yes I how so too.

Hi,

As you know, I've been packaging stuff for the past two years with the
goal of eventually having FreeIPA server on Debian/Ubuntu. A lot has
been accomplished, but quite a bit is still missing too..

> May be it is time to try again?

Yes, this is the biggest blocker. Dogtag 9 is packaged in git and
working, but I'm not going to push that to the distro. It can be used
for testing the IPA server though, before we have Dogtag 10. Once the
prereqs are in place the Dogtag git should be easy to rebase with 10.x.

I did start packaging some of the dependencies, but hit a wall when some
maven component needed a different release than another one.. AIUI this
is a known issue with maven based projects..

Other blockers off the top of my head include:

- support for shared certificate database in NSS
  * patches sent to the Debian bug (#537866), maintainer isn't too
responsive
- dyndb support in bind
  * haven't asked the maintainer to add it to bind9, it might happen
- porting the IPA server installer for Debian
  * this has been discussed on the list at some point, and I guess
upstream knows best how the code needs to be organized to make it
happen..

yep, and I need to send the platform module for the client soon, the
latest version seems to be working fine.

I'm doing this on my spare time, which has meant obvious delays in
shipping something. Would be great to have more skillful people (pun
intended) on the pkg-freeipa team..

I could send an email to debian-devel@ asking if someone is interested
in helping us out. And maybe blog about it too (on planet.ubuntu.com)..
