That's actually the thing I like about kolab.  It brings many of the main 
applications together in a single application.  The bad thing is that there 
are still some patches needed for the main applications like php (due to c-
client (if I'm not mistaken by heart) and cyrus).

Are you building kolab with "./configure --with-dist=mandrake" ?

Perhaps we can share forces via the build services that openSUSE provides.  
That services is also open for other distributions, and with one spec file it 
is possible to build packages for Fedora, Mandriva, Centos and of course 
openSUSE.  Its build for different versions and architectures, see e.g.:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rbos:/ib/

Creating a kolab spec files for multiple distributions is perhaps not easy, 
but it could be done....
