Hi,
I am about to submitrequest the Horde Groupware and Webmail applications from server:php:applications to openSUSE Factory. Because this is the first time I do this, I want to discuss any objections beforehand.
Horde is a set of PHP applications for collaboration and messaging as well as a framework for web application development. It has been around Suse and openSUSE for quite some time, but a one point lost active packagers.
The Horde Project is one of the oldest and largest free PHP applications and has a considerable userbase around the world. Used by universities and government agencies, horde has also been included into the Kolab Groupware as its web client and into cpanel as a webmail solution.
The current packages are based on horde 3.3.x which is a mature and well- tested production version which will be in upstream maintainance for the scheduled lifetime of openSUSE 11.4.
Having developed applications based on horde myself, I recently picked up the horde rpms in server:php:applications, added a few new modules and updated the existing ones. I am interested in keeping the packages current and bugfixed for the forseeable future.
Please let me know if I should not SR these packages tomorrow.
For Horde and any other web application we really need to have security support being active for the whole openSUSE distribution lifetime (currently 18 months). ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
