[SOLVED] Howto install Kolab2 2.0.2 on NetBSD 3.0

[Raphael Langerhorst]

Hi all,

I finally successfully finished a Kolab2 (2.0.2) installation on NetBSD 3.0

Please note that Kolab2 2.0.3 or (maybe) 2.1 might already work 
out-of-the-box, since the patches will be included in the release (both 
releases not YET available).

Here is how this works (I'll add it all to the wiki... later):

Follow the instructions in my previous mail:
http://www.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-users/2006-January/004178.html

sometimes it's difficult (or tricky) to make sure that modified src.rpm's 
really get installed - you have to wipe the binary rpm from /kolab/RPM/PKG, 
erase the installed rpm: /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm --erase imapd   and so on and 
so forth (make sure you know where the src.rpm is located and which one you 
actually install). The BEST way to do all this is to modify the src.rpm 
before starting "sh obmtool kolab" at all. That is, oh... that is difficult 
since you need /kolab/bin/openpkg. Anyway, you can ask me for ready-to-use 
src.rpm packages if you need them (or look in the wiki.kolab.org, I might 
already have posted some instructions there and links to ready-to-use src.rpm 
packages).

And here are some additional instructions and patches. They are now to solve 
the leftover cyrus-imapd issue. The patches are to be used with KOLAB 2.0.2 
(mind you!). You have to

$ /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm --install imapd-2.2.12-2.4.0_kolab3.src.rpm
$ cd /kolab/RPM/SRC/imapd
$ cp /path/to/patches/from/this/email/imapd.patch .
$ cp /path/to/patches/from/this/email/imapd.patch.group .
$ /kolab/bin/openpkg rpmbuild -bs imapd.spec

Explaination:
By copying the patch files you OVERWRITE the existing patches. After that you 
just create (rpmbuild) a new src.rpm out of the installed (rpm --install) 
imapd source rpm. The result is again stored in /kolab/RPM/PKG/

Copy it from there to your directory with all your Kolab 2.0.2 installation 
sources. Then (after doing the same for the postfix package, see my previous 
mail!) just go on installing the rest of Kolab2:

$ sh obmtool kolab

That should now finish the installation without ANY missing packages.

Some notes on post-install:
I actually DID have troubles starting openldap during the kolab_bootstrap 
process, turning debugging to a higher level
(/kolab/libexec/openldap/slapd --help)
and grep for libexec/openldap/slapd in kolab_bootstrap.
Anyway, it turned out that removing an existing logfile made it work. I have 
no idea whether this is on-purpose or just a matter of me having too much 
messed around with the existing installation.

Another thing: I found out that postfix doesn't support any kind of 
authentication, no idea what's that, since installation works just fine (with 
my patches). And my patches don't touch authentication. Anyway, if you want 
to test whether the overall setup works, bootstrap kolab, go to the services 
settings in the web interface and add your local subnet to the list of 
networks that allow unauthenticated smtp (the one where 127.0.0.1/24 is set 
by default).

SSLMutex: it seemed to me that SSLMutex is not supported on NetBSD, although 
after the final install apache started even WITH this option. Anyway, might 
need to comment it out in apache.base (or the httpd.conf template and run 
kolabconf).

Whatever, I don't want to have you read too much text with this email. I'll 
add some info in the kolab wiki (http://wiki.kolab.org) and submit the 
patches to the issue tracker of kolab (https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab)

So hopefully all future releases will eventually support NetBSD without any 
hassle.

PS: Yes, this is supposed to work for OpenBSD AS WELL (untested).

PPS: the attached patches ONLY add NetBSD and OpenBSD to the #ifdef that 
includes the fgetgrent code... since that's not officially part of BSD libc's 
(but of the glibc, so the freebsd people apparently already had a go at this 
but didn't enable the code for NetBSD or other BSD's). See 
http://www.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-users/2005-June/002834.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2003/01/msg00013.html
for some details.
