Getting started with Kolab KDE Client on a SUSE 9.1 Professional

Status:
 - description on how to install the prepared package set
   "kolab2.0-kdepim3.3-aegypten2.0-client" version 1.0.0.
   It covers the kdepim poko2 branch client for Kolab-2 and all
   Ägypten-2 components for SMIME/Sphinx email-encryption.
   Also included are the german translations.
 - tested as a initial installation on a fresh SUSE 9.1P
   with online-updates as of 20050420.
 - some steps are in german


First login to SUSE 9.1P as root, then follow the instructions
below. You may adapt the steps on your own needs and expertise.


1. Get the packages

(In case you want to install multiple sytems you should
maintain a local copy somewhere in your network.)

# mkdir /tmp/kolab-download
# cd /tmp/kolab-download

Get all files in the directory
	kde-client/ix86-suse91p/kolab2.0-kdepim3.3-aegypten2.0-client/
	(This directory is a symbolic link to the current version.)
from one of the Kolab mirrors listed here:
	http://kolab.org/mirrors.html

Just for a installation you need only what is in i586 and noarch.


2. Check the signature of Kolab-Konsortium

In case you do not yet have the packaging key of
Kolab Konsortium, you can download it from this address:
	http://www.kolab-konsortium.de/kolab-konsortium-package.key.asc
or from a key-server:
	# gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 133a8928

For each directory of i586, noarch, srpms:

# gpg  --verify md5sums.txt.gpg
# md5sum * | grep -v md5sum  > /tmp/md5sums
# diff /tmp/md5sums md5sums.txt

(For those who wonder why we did not sign the rpm
packages directly: SUSEs genIS_PLAINcache can't handle this)


4. Install Kolab KDE Client

# cd /tmp/kolab-download
# rpm -U noarch/kde3-i18n-de-3.2.1.proko2.0.beta2-0.noarch.rpm
(SUSEs genIS_PLAINcache can't handle noarch)

# yast

Installation steps within yast only in german available:
	Bei yast unter "Software->Installationquelle wechseln"
»···ein neues Software-Quellmedium  (lokales Dateisystem)
	hinzufügen und aktivieren: /tmp/kolab-download/i586
»···Anschliessend den Status dieses neuen Eintrages aktualisieren.

»···In yast unter "Sofware->Installieren oder löschen" das
»···Paket "kolab2.0-kdepim3.3-aegypten2.0-client" selektieren
»···und installieren.


5. Configuration

New users should run "kolabwizard" first. Ask you Kolab Server
administrator on what to enter.

Note: If you started kmail already at least once you should
now enter "kcontrol" and perform the following changes:

	KDE-Komponenten/KDE-Ressourcen: Remove the resources
	not related to Kolab in each tab.

Then run "kontact" and make a sync. All folders will be created
for you now.


6. Known issues of version 1.0.0:

- Icons for Kleopatra, KolabWizard and Kontact are missing in the menu.
  These tools have to execute from a shell window or personal
  icons have to be created.
- KMail icon in toobar not yet starting kontact.
- Ägypten-2 creates debug files in the directory from where
  kontact or kmail is started (dbgmd-000*).
- A more sensible pre-definition of the certificate status
  within Kleopatra.
- Some already fixed bugs in Ägypten-2 (especially keyIdentifier
  support).
