[Bug 1875114] Re: freeipa-server package missing from Ubuntu 2x.04

[Travis Bean]

I used the following commands in an effort to build the FreeIPA server
packages for Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS running on a Google Cloud virtual
machine.

# Clone the FreeIPA Git repository.
cd /usr/local/src
sudo git clone --recurse-submodules https://salsa.debian.org/freeipa-team/freeipa.git
cd freeipa

# Install dependencies to build Dogtag Public Key Infrastructure.
sudo apt install -y python3-nss
sudo wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/443113900/python3-pki-base_10.7.3-4_all.deb \
  -O python-pki-base*.deb && sudo dpkg -i python-pki-base*.deb && \
  sudo rm -f python-pki-base*
sudo wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/470507858/pki-base_10.8.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb \
  -O pki-base*.deb && sudo dpkg -i pki-base*.deb && sudo rm -f pki-base*

# Automatically determine and install dependencies required to build FreeIPA packages.
sudo apt install -y devscripts equivs
sudo mk-build-deps -i
sudo apt -f install ./freeipa-build-deps*.deb
sudo rm -f *.deb

# Edit rules and control files for building FreeIPA server packages.
sudo sed -i "/ifneq/ s|^#||
  /ONLY_CLIENT=0/ s|^#||
  /else/ s|^#||
  /endif/ s|^#||" /usr/local/src/freeipa/debian/rules
sudo sed -i "s|pki-base (>= 10.10.6~)|pki-base|" \
  /usr/local/src/freeipa/debian/control.server-bdeps

# Build the FreeIPA packages.
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc

I had to use python3-pki-base and pki-base from the Ubuntu Focal 20.04
repositories because these packages are not on the Ubuntu 24.04
repositories. Can someone please add these required build dependencies
to the Ubuntu 24.04 repositories? These packages are required to build
the Dogtag Public Key Infrastructure.

Why is ONLY_CLIENT=0 in the debian/rules file commented out? The comment
that precedes this commented-out variable is “build server only where
nodejs is available.” But even if the nodejs package is installed, the
FreeIPA server packages still will not build when uncommenting this
variable.

When I attempt to build the FreeIPA server packages, I receive the following errors:
configure: exit 1
dh_auto_configure: error: ./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir=\${prefix}/include --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-option-checking --disable-silent-rules --libdir=\${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --runstatedir=/run --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --libexecdir=/usr/lib/ --with-ipaplatform=debian --with-sysconfenvdir=/etc/default --disable-pylint --without-ipa-join-xml --without-jslint --enable-server --with-ipatests returned exit code 1

make: *** [debian/rules:133: build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2
