No.
Yes. Red Hat has invested, and continues to invest, a lot of resources in Fedora DS.Is there a future for Fedora DS,
Since December, 2004, the directory server team at Red Hat has spent the majority of effort on making everything about Fedora DS open source developer friendly:
* replace the proprietary admin server with Apache * use FHS style paths * use autotools for building * including the software in the Fedora OS distributionThis has represented an enormous amount of work, and we're almost finished. At the same time, we've also managed to add some new features (password syntax checking, ldapi, distributed numeric assignment, bitwise matching rules, other features) as well as many bug fixes.
We have a lot of ideas for the future after we complete this work. In general, we want to make LDAP easier to use, easier to deploy, and easier to fit in with other applications. We also want to find out what features you want. We really want to make this a community effort.
We are not going anywhere - we are committed to continual improvement of Fedora DS.
I think there is room for both projects. Some people prefer OpenLDAP, and some prefer Fedora DS. Although it's too early to tell, some may prefer Sun's OpenDS or Apache DS.or will OpenLDAP own the Free Software directory service market?
I don't know, but this is something I would like to pursue, to find ways that we can share technology.Will the two projects share technology and converge?
