Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : zcs Version : 5.0.9 Upstream Author : <I don't know.> * URL : http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html * License : Yahoo Public License 1.1 Programming Lang: Java Description : Zimbra Collaboration Suite (Open Source Edition) groupware server
Zimbra Collaboration Suite is server software for messaging and collaboration - email, group calendaring, contacts, and web document management and authoring. -- The upstream binary distribution contains nonstandard copies of postfix, apache, &c. It looks like a lot of work to make Zimbra integrate correctly with standard Debian packages of these projects, and even MORE work to make Zimbra comply with Debian Policy (e.g. the FHS). I'd prefer a coordinated effort towards an official Debian package, rather than every sysadmin just making his own private, ad-hoc attempt. I don't have the resources to take the lead on such a large, messy package, but I'm willing to help work on it. Upstream use Perforce (p4) as their VCS; the client is an ITP (#445866). I eventually found some notes about how to access Zimbra's repo at http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Franklin_README I suggested the (uninformative) package name "zcs" because it is in keeping with the existing "zdesktop" client-side package that is provided by Zimbra to the Ubuntu Hardy "Partners" repository. AFAICT neither upstream nor Ubuntu have shown any interest in packaging the server side as a policy-compliant package. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
