Please also note it's looking like kolab-fbview, and all of the 
php-pear-Horde-* and php-pear-Kolab-* packages are not going to be 
needed by the time we release Kolab 3.0.

This will subsequently also remove the need for the myrights and 
annotations patches currently required against php and uw-imap.

What we are then left with is vanilla upstream all the way through.

If any sort of review process for the distribution you are packaging 
for is in any way as lengthy and painful as the Fedora Project's, it may 
just not be worth the effort to include the 60-odd Horde packages *and* 
the out-of-tree patches into the distribution, but instead focus on 
those we carry forward.

Meanwhile, we can offer mirror space for repositories right next to 
where all the other packages live on http://mirror.kolabsys.com/pub/.

Kind regards,
