As far as possible we should only maintain release tarballs on the Kolab sites.
OpenPKG automatically detects these new releases and rolls them into new
RPMS in OpenPKG current.

I'm unsure what the plan is around release management, but maintaining a seperate
copy of RPMS and working on them (with patches, etc.) is IMHO a bad idea.

Thomas from the OpenPKG project has been _extremely_ helpfull with rolling patches
into the packages as and when needed...

Please refer to my statement above... Rather than maintain those packages separately,
lets just maintain the config files, etc. neccesary to integrate them into Kolab...

Ok - we will move our engine code into your CVS very soon, so that everyone can
participate... Any questions regarding this is most welcome.

The Kolab webclient is basically finished, most of the stuff is in Horde CVS, we are
just updating the drivers to use proper MIME formatting for the calendars, etc.
Stuart should announce more about this within the next couple of days.
