[Kolab-devel] integrating kolab in debian sarge

[Stephan Buys]

The kolab tool should work now and the latest packages from CVS should contain 
all the files. I forgot to add "showuser".

The idea behind this (and we need "buy-in" from all users and distributors) 
is that maintainers will customise the scripts to fit with the distribution.

For example the #kolab showlog command.

The idea here is that all critical logs for diagnosing Kolab are accessible 
through this script. 
One of the issues we had on the list with Mandriva is that we didn't always
know the path to the spool directories/logfiles for the distribution-specific
Kolab installs.

With the "kolab" command we can the ask a user to check his postfix log
by just running #kolab showlog postfix

maybe we can even implement a "goto" command:
	#kolab goto imapd

Which will take you to the spool directory of imapd

and #kolab goto openldap

Which will tkae you to the var directory for openldap

Then we can tell users to run ctl_cyrusdb and db_recover in the local
directories instead of having to worry about where it is... Especially with
novice users.
