Directory Server on Ubuntu?

[Oliver Brakmann]

Hello Devs,

I'd like to ask about the current state of the directory server project
for Ubuntu.  The 389 directory server PPA hasn't seen any activity for
the last year, but there has been some activity on blueprints for Lucid
relating to the FreeIPA project.

So, what is the current state?
What is the current recommendation if one were to build a directory
server on Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Oliver
