Hi Dejan.

I finally found the instructions to use "rpmbuild -ta file-tar.gz" and
got it built (after rpmbuild explained me exactly which devel package
I was missing). heartbeat-ldirector-1.2.5 failed on missing perl-ldap
and perl-libnet which I can't find anywhere so I compiled it without
the libnet requirement and with perl-LDAP instead of "perl-ldap" as
dependencies and so far it seems to work (both nodes see each other).
I'm now looking through the ha.cf docs about how to configure the
resources "the old way".

Would you be interested in the tiny diff's I had to make to the .spec
file? Are there maintenance released for v1?

Cheers,
