Fedora directory users - Nov 2005 - Binary Download links borken on main site -- Any mirrors?

Hi,

I''ve been trying to get ahold of the 1.0.2 binaries for FC4, but the
link is dead (and is dead for FC3/RHEL4, FC2/RHEL3).  Is there another
place to get these?  I''ve done some googling and can''t seem to
locate a
mirror.  And I can''t seem to find a site maintainer''s email
address, so
I''m reaching out to the users.  How are you obtaining binaries?

How finicky is the build process, If I were to build from the sources?
Do the sources include the recently released tools?

Thanks,
JJ

  I built 1.0 from source with dsbuild, on my RHEL4 laptop, and it 
worked for me (tm). The admin console is really fast now with apache, 
compared to how it performed with the previous backend ns-httpd. I mean 
to say that it is a major performance improvement. This is the first 
time IMO that the admin console is actually "usable".

  I ran into one small hiccup while the admin server was building, where 
it refused to build with jdk1.5.0. Dropping back to 1.4.2 solved the 
problem. Actually, I keep both of them in /usr/java, and just move the 
jdk symlink back and forth as needed. JAVA_HOME is set to /usr/java/jdk.

  Note that you need httpd and httpd-devel packages on a RHEL/FC machine 
before 1.0 will build with dsbuild, since apxs is required for building 
mod_restart.

Note that 1.0 is not yet fully baked - that''s why we dropped the 
download links.  So if it works for you, that''s great.  If not,
we''d
really like to find out how/where it doesn''t work.

What problems did you see?

Well, I just built it and started it up on the laptop to see the new 
features, etc. It''s been running for 3 days now without a problem, but
I
  haven''t done any extensive testing. I even had it replicating with a 
FDS 7.1 server in multi-master for a while, as I was writing the mmr.pl 
script which is now found on the wiki.

I didn''t record it, but iirc it said something about "enum"
not working
the same (or at all) in 1.5.0...
