Archive of initial work on Kolab v3.4
Hello again,
I am not sure, if it is of any use for you, but i have created a branch of this git repository in order to install kolab 3.4. The resulting repo is attached as .tar.xz archive (I have not found the option to do merge/pull request). Essentially, the main work was to do version bumps of the existing ebuilds. Here, I am not sure if I captured the dependencies on other non-kolab packages right. However, it is running fine on my server.
I have to make some notes about the archive:
- The cyrus package is used in version 2.5.2, different to the original kolab release, since the version of cyrus that is used in the release (and also version 2.5.0) shows serious compilation issues with afs enabled.
- Although I have added a patch to the kolab ebuild that enables the chameleon skin during uprading, but I could not get the skin to work properly. According to the documentation, the lesscss compiler should be used to generate the styles.css file. However, I was able to compile this file successfully under gentoo. Using the lessc compiler via the ebuild contained in the archive results in an empty css file. Using rubygems (gem install ...), I was able to "run" the compiler, but the package "therubyracer" segfaulted on both hardened on non-hardened machines. That was were I gave up. My conclusion is, if you will eventually get this work, is to provide the resulting css file via the overlay, as it is a pure pain to get this skin working (at least on a gentoo machine).
I hope that this archive will help you for the transistion to kolab 3.4. It was some work which did not just want to keep for myself ;). However, if you think the quality is too low, feel free to reject this request.
Best regards,
Alexanderkolab.tar.xz
