FreeIPA 4.0.5 on Trusty

[Eric Heydrick]

I'm having problems getting FreeIPA Server 4.0.5 from the https://launchpad.net/~freeipa/+archive/ubuntu/4.0 PPA working on Trusty. ipa-server-install is not completing successfully. I'm getting this error among others:

That's new, but wouldn't be the last error in the process.. I'll remove the package from the ppa.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

the problem is that it would take too much of an effort to port it to upstart, just for one release

[Eric Heydrick (eheydrick)]

Understood. Would you mind leaving the client packages up. 4.0.5 client works fine on Trusty.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

yes, uploaded a package which only builds the client
