[Kolab-devel] Kolab-CF

[Stephan Buys]

Hi all,

We are in the process of packaging the work that we have done
over the last seven months or so on the Kolab Daemon.

We will upload the packages to the zfos site probably by the end
of the week. 

We were thinking of using the name kolab-cf for our daemon. 
Except for a few extra dependencies it is a slot-in upgrade for the
normal Kolab daemon. I would also like to create a link on the website 
to point to these packages for people who are interested in trying them.

For more information before the release you are welcome to post
your questions to the list. Also any feedback on the naming and
the upload location would be welcome.

Some features include:
1) Kolabd is _very_ modular, we have split most of the functionality
into different perl modules so that it is easy to maintain.
2) kolabd glue is now located under /kolab/sbin/
3) There is a new program called kolabconf for updating the template
files manually
4) There is a compatibility wrapper for the old kolab daemon...
ie. kolab -v -o will still work.
5) The kolab-cf packages are fully based on the zfos obmtool 
distribution.
6) Directory replication is supported by kolabd
7) Active Directory users can be used instead of native kolab users.
8) kolabd is now multi-threaded with a plug-in system

All the best,
