kolab 3.0 on wheezy x86_64 report !

Hello,
i was redirected from paul to post my expierience to the kolab-devel list.
First of all, i setup a new server and configured it only with the
development repository.

1.) There's a bug in the cyrus-imap package.
pts and ldap is not enabled in the package, so cyrus-imapd never will work.
I did a rebuild of cyrus-imapd adding --with-ldap=/usr \ and
--with-auth=pts \ (before i did a apt-get build-dep cyrus-imapd)
Also i patched the cyurs-imapd.install to add ptloader, ptexpire and ptdump.
Also there's a problem with /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/bin in the rules file.
Default, cyrus configures alle executables to the
/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/bin dir.
So i did a symlink to /bin/ to get cyrus working properly.
The next bug is in the init-script. There's a reference on kolab-cyrus
which actually don't exist.
The cyrus-imapd init script has a bug when calling start-stop-daemon.
Also the fix_directories function has some typos. export a var without a
vale export var=$value.
So i did a workaround patch to even be able to start cyrus-imapd.
After that, cyrus.imapd starts

2.) kolab-saslauthd bug
It only works when starting in the forgroud.
when issuing kolab list-mailboxes it terminates, when using the
forground mehtod.

So i think, there's a general problem with augeas or what is used to
parse the config.

Pykolab log is full of errrors.

Like:
2012-10-27 17:24:34,606 pykolab.conf WARNING Option does not exist in
defaults.
2012-10-27 17:24:34,607 pykolab.conf WARNING Option kolab/auth_mechanism
does not exist in config file /etc/kolab/kolab.conf, pulling from defaults
2012-10-27 17:24:34,607 pykolab.conf WARNING Option does not exist in
defaults.



3.) When creating a kolab user, no mailbox is created. There's no
interaction in cyrus when a user was created.
kolab create-mailbox [username] works. (cyradm also works)
Also i read about policies which should be pretty good.
Is this a bug or not implemented yet ?

4.) wallace missing a directory when filtering (simply not created on
the post section of the package installation) (debugged it via strace)
fix in my testsetup:
mkdir -p /var/spool/pykolab/wallace && chown -R kolab /var/spool/pykolab
then did a restart of wallace.
postfix tries do delivers but nothing is delivered ( no mailbox ;-) )
Also, only working when running in the foreground. (screen session)
Permission problem prevents wallace from accessing the lmtp socket.
So adding postfix to group mail fixed the problem.


5.) kolab-server
also working only when running not in the --fork mode.
Otherwise, it will not detect any config sections.
Problem in the output:
2012-10-27 18:13:42,305 pykolab.conf WARNING Option imap/virtual_domains
does not exist in config file /etc/kolab/kolab.conf, pulling from defaults


Other things i found out:
Also, them [imap] section seems to be missing in the kolab.conf which
kolab-saslauthd is being complaining about.

So, right now no mailbox is created and no mail could be delivered.

Rgds.

Franz

P.s:

cyrus-imapd (quick patch)
