This is good development ;
a. On the documentation ; Probably More info on certificates generation and
security model would be appreciated. I am not sure if the new script takes
care of certificate management or not!
b. Probably a PHP based front-end would also be a plus ...
Again, it is my hope that the FRED would be running most of registry around
the world; Good work guys
Regards
JM

Jaromir,
Great news. The .mw ccTLD is really interested in test running FRED
but we were dismayed at the frequest references and preferences to
Debian in the documentation that we found during the recent Paris
ICANN conference.
Our systems are running on Fedora on which we have invested a lot.
We are therefore encouraged to see here that you say that "FRED on
Fedora (8,9)" is now this easy to install. Is there anything that we
should look out for?
You should probably check out our rpms repository for Fedora. Fred
installation is described at http://fred.nic.cz/wiki/download in section
"Binary packages". The process of starting fred is easy after that:
/etc/init.d/postgresql initdb # if never called
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
/etc/init.d/omniNames start
/etc/init.d/fred-server start
/etc/init.d/fred-webadminserver start
Have the documentation and howto now been updated
as well?
We should definitely update HOWTO because there are things that are not
true or now work at all in new versions. Documentation update is, I'am
afraid. long term process. Maybe subscribers of this list should help us
with making some FAQ. What are the main things you would like to now
about FRED?
Regards,
Jara
Great work guys.

Paulos

all dependencies should be in distribution repositories. We
created a overall schema of this dependencies

Hope that traffic on this lists will arise a little bit since now.
Enjoy our work! ;)
