[Kolab-devel] current state/future of debian packages ?

[Matthias Busch]

Hey Paul,
Hey Timotheus.

Thank you both for your very detailed answers.

I was not thinking before asking and did not grasp that there is a 
difference between getting kolab officially into the debian distribution 
and having independent kolab sources. which should have been obvious.
Thanks for making it clear to me.

My primary concern is the dedicated debian server and I am very happy to 
hear that there are still people actively working on having kolab run on 
debian.

personally I am waiting for a few updates to make it onto my kolab 
installation. so far the whole process of how the patches and updates in 
sources get magically turned apt-get upgrade results is still somewhat 
eluding me.

I would be willing to invest some time myself to help that process, but 
before even thinking about that I wanted to know who is working on that 
already.

Additionally, I have no experience with OBS or building from source 
(other than wget/follow instruction/make) or creating packages so it may 
just be that I would more disturb a well oiled machine instead of 
helping it run... And I really would not want to step on someones toes...

And in the end it could just be that there is not really much left to do 
and the "waiting period" between a change in source and me getting a the 
package is quality control. which should not be compromised...
