[Kolab-devel] current dev state

[Christoph Erhardt]

Hi hede,

> What kind of headache? I haven't followed kolab recently.
php-kolab and php-kolabformat have changed the priority of their .ini files, 
but did not remove the respective old symlinks. For instance, now both 20-
kolab.ini (old) and 31-kolab.ini (new) are lying around, causing the logs to 
be spammed with "PHP Warning: Module already loaded".

In the irony package, the Apache configuration file got renamed from 
iRony.conf to irony.conf (accidentally?), causing a dangling symlink in 
"sites-enabled".

Oh, it looks like the two of us have been ploughing the same field! Perhaps 
it's a good idea if you take a look at my branch at https://obs.kolabsys.com/
project/show/home:sicherha:branches:Kolab:Winterfell so we don't accidentally 
do the same work twice.

I was able to solve that problem by adding a build dependency on erlang (which 
pulls in erlang-crypto).

That's a valid point. I have to admit that I'm not really familiar with Erlang 
either, so I don't feel qualified to answer that question (without trying it 
out, that is).

If it were indeed possible to keep using the distro-provided rebar 2 for now 
(even though upstream says that version "is deprecated and will receive only 
bug fixes" [1]), that would reduce the packaging and maintenance effort for 
us. I think it's a good idea to stay as close to the distribution as possible 
and keep the number of extra packages low that we have to drag along.

Best regards,
Christoph
