We've been running FDS beta in production for a while now.  I'd like to upgrade to 1.0 and then get current, especially because after the last reboot, the admin-serv won't run anymore.

What's the problem? Note that ns-slapd must be up and running and accepting connections before admin-serv will start.

The only upgrade instructions that I've been able to find are at the bottom of the 1.0 Release Notes:

   Unfortunately, rpm -U (rpm upgrade install) is not supported. You must perform a migration from the old version. Steps:

      1. Backup your data, using the console or the db2bak command line (or Export to LDIF)
      2. Make a copy of your server configuration - the slapd-instance/config/dse.ldif file
      3. Backup your key/cert/module information - the /opt/fedora-ds/alias .db files (you can ignore the .so file)
      4. Uninstall the previous version (e.g. rpm -e fedora-ds)
      5. Install the new version (e.g. rpm -ivh fedora-ds-1.0-2.platform.i386.opt.rpm)
      6. Add back your configuration to the new instance e.g. do a diff between your saved dse.ldif and the new one
      7. Add back your saved key/cert/module .db files to /opt/fedora-ds/alias
      8. Restore your saved data (or import from LDIF)

These notes aren't enough detail for me to get the job done.  Is there a detailed procedure somewhere or can one of you good people help me?  I've looked through the mailing list archives, FDS docs, RHDS docs, and googled.  I'd like something like this:

   mkdir /var/backup/fds
   cd /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-host2
   ./db2bak /var/backup/fds
   blah blah
   rpm -e fedora-ds
   etc etc


Specific things in the upgrade steps from the release notes that I don't feel good about are:
Step 1 - I don't know how to do that, but I think I might have done it correctly.
Yes, you are correct.

Step 4 - after rpm -e, it says some files may not have been removed and to remove them manually.  Do you do rm -Rf /opt/fedora-ds?
Yes.

Step 6 - I don't know how to do that
cd /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-host2
./stop-slapd
diff -U 8 dse.ldif.saved config/dse.ldif > diffs
# where dse.ldif.saved is the one you saved in step 2 above
# now, take a look at the file diffs, and edit your config/dse.ldif with any pertinent changes in diffs
./start-slapd

Step 8 - I don't know how to do that
cd /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-host2
./stop-slapd
./bak2db /var/backup/fds
./start-slapd

Thanks in advance!
