Currently all packages besides perl-kolab, kolab and kolab-webadmin and 
php-smarty[1] are available from OpenPKG. The reason the packages are 
provided together with the kolab ones is to have a fix environment for 
testing. The packages are taken from OpenPKG-CURRENT, which changes 
very often. I'd like our environment to change more slowly, so we keep 
a copy of a working package a little longer than OpenPKG-CURRENT.

But please notice that some of the packages are built with special 
options for kolab. See obmtool.conf.

Once OpenPKG-2.1 is released (any prognosis?), we will base our setup on 
that and wont need to keep all those packages around.

[1] I'd like this package to go into OpenPKG-CURRENT. How is the 
procedure for that?
