Horde Web Framework, and OpenPKG question

[Webb, Paul]

Hi all!,

I have two distinct questions/issues:

1. I realize that the Horde client is experimental, but I don't think 
the behavior I'm seeing is "normal", even for experimental versions of 
Kolab.

    I'm testing Horde as a web client. When I sign in to Horde as any
    user, I get an error indicating the following three things:

        Last login: Never
        Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise calendar "": NO, Invalid
        mailbox name
        Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise calendar "": NO, Invalid
        mailbox name
        Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise notes "": NO, Invalid mailbox
        name
        Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise notes "": NO, Invalid mailbox
        name

    The first error (Last login: Never) wouldn't be weird except I get
    this on users that I've signed in with 10+ times over, and I use the
    Logout button to exit in every case rather than just closing the
    browser window.

    The other two errors are odd because in other cases that I've seen
    in the forums, a username exists in between the quotes. For
    instance, others have an error that looks like this:

        Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise calendar
        "someuser at domain.tld's Calendar": NO, Invalid mailbox name

    Mine look like this:

        Horde/Kolab: Unable to synchronise calendar "": NO, Invalid
        mailbox name

    So where did the variable for my username and folder go?

2. OpenPKG files and patches:

    I've noticed that all of the Kolab utilities and functions are
    provided in OpenPKG format. In the case of Horde, when I followed
    the wiki instructions to integrate Horde into my existing Kolab
    installation, it took HOURS to do so. And (if that's any indicator),
    every time a new patch is released for Horde, I'll be doing the same
    process over again. Is there any way to, well, speed the process up?
    Usually speaking when I install something additional to an existing
    product, it comes in a tar.gz file. I unzip the file and follow the
    INSTALL document step by step, and within an hour or so it either
    works or it doesn't. Is there a way to do the same with the Kolab
    OpenPKGs out there? A way to install just the patch instead of it
    recompiling the whole server suite?

    Keep in mind that I'm VERY new to kolab. It's possible that the
    above already exists and I'm just not doing it the "right" way. If
    so, let me know so I can "fix" it!


TIA, all!
