Hi list,
in the last days I have been busy updating and submitting packages related to
Horde php applications and horde pear packages. While Horde had been in
mainstream repositories even way before suse became opensuse, nowadays most
horde rpms in Buildservice are outdated or wouldn't even build.
I think it is time to communicate with you about the best way we can improve
the situation, as I am new to openSUSE packaging and don't know all the rules
and ways to handle things.
My goal for now is to have most or all officially released "stable" horde
modules and dependencies as in http://www.horde.org/projects.php in a current
state, working for SLE_11, Factory and OpenSUSE 11.3, but preferably also for
older supported targets. I would also like to maintain them for the forseeable
future and probably bring them to Factory if there is nothing against it.
My questions:
What to do now? I have just targeted my submit requests for two new packages
and several updates/fixes at the server:php:applications repository. While the
fixes and updates all have been accepted, the new packages are currently
waiting for some review or so I think. I am not sure if I have to do anything
about them right now.
Whom to contact?
I have found out that the php5-pear-role_web package does not build on any
current platform. The source archive pearified.com is gone for good. Searching
the net, I read that the role_web has been incorporated to php-pear proper and
is not needed anymore. I think it is best to drop this package and remove
Requires: on it. Who should I ask?
Who does kolab?
The Kolab Groupware uses horde as its web client. While I don't want to
intentionally break compatibility of horde packages with kolab, I am not
involved enough to know which kolab patches of old packages are really still
required in the newer versions. There is an ongoing upstream effort to make
horde just work with kolab without any patches. I would like to communicate
with somebody who does the kolab packages about these issues.
