We do but it's kind of difficult. It would help a lot if at least the packages 
provided by kolabsystems would use the same versioning as Kolab, such a 
pykolab-3.5, libkolab-3.5, ect

composer requires a few php-composer deps to build. Fedora has started to 
package them.

This isn't a problem with Mageia as far as I know.

But we haven't packaged Cyrus IMAP 2.5.x nor has Fedora as far as I can see.
This will be a major task

roundcubemail-plugins-kolab
This requires roundcube_version 1.2
I cannot find a roundcube_version 1.2. This involves 
libkolab doesn't currently build and I haven't gotten any reply on my inquiry 
on the ML
