[Kolab-devel] Packaging the kolab-webadmin package

[Mathieu Parent]

I will try to summarize my opinion:

+1 to separate packaging and code

+1 to have all php Kolab_* in git.horde.org (for kolab-webadmin:
probably not). aka keep it like today

+1 to have a git mirror of git.horde.org on git.kolab.org
this will allow us to have local changes easily mergeable (what Gunnar
was doing on github before should be doable by every kolab
contributors)

As kolab-webadmin will be tied to Horde libs, manage kolab-webadmin
code on git.kolab.org.

Then, we will have two repositories :
- git.kolab.org: for all PHP code
- hg.kolab.org: for all non-PHP code and for packaging

I think having two dVCS is not a big issue but still it requires more
work to become a contributor.
I don't prefer git over hg, but as horde as chosen git...

True, but git can be made easier by rebasing by default instead of merging:

$ git config branch.master.rebase true

About the initial question of Gunnar ("I would like to urge all
packagers [...] to look into these changes and to check if what I did
makes sense"): Yes it makes sense, and I will look deeper once kolab
is in a good shape to go in squeeze (I will write it in issue1066).
