[Kolab-devel] providing "real" sources

[Marcus Hüwe]

Hi,

what about providing "real" sources (e.g. tar.bz2) for the kolab snapshots?
At the moment there are only openpkg src.rpms
http://max.kde.org:8080/mirrors/ftp.kolab.org/server/development/20060811-since-20060111/sources/
It would be nice to have tarballs too so everyone can install them on a "normal" system
without problems (for example without unpacking the rpms etc..).
I attached patches for the kolabd, krh, kwa and perl-kolab packages.

Description:

* first you have to install the kolabd module:
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure (the dist_conf dir will be installed to the default location ($datadir/kolab))
  or
  ./configure --with-distpath=ALTERNATIVE_PATH (the dist_conf dir will be installed into
  ALTERNATIVE_DIR)
  make && make install
* if the kolabd module is installed successfully you can install the other modules
  like the following:
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure (it'll look for the dist_conf files in $(datadir)/kolab/dist_conf (default))
  or
  ./configure --with-distpath=ALTERNATIVE_PATH/dist_conf
  make
  make install

* Where's the advantage of this?:
  At the moment you must have the following dir-structure if you want to install kolab (at least cvs)
  server/kolabd/kolabd
  server/kolab-resource-handlers/kolab-resource-handlers
  ...
  server/perl-kolab
  because the bootstrap script expects the dist_conf dir in the kolabd/kolabd/ dir

This would make the whole kolab-buildmechanism much more easier for new/normal users IMHO.


What do you think about that?
