Hi, > I think part of the issue is that there is no one willing to step up and > sign up to package Kolab for Fedora. There is a lot required and, > generally, it seems that Kolab's RPM packages don't fit the Fedora > guidelines. well, that's the issue (one of) I have with them - seems the packages do nasty things. The packaging guidelines may seem a bit bureaucratic but make sense (mostly :-)) for long-term maintenance and distribution health. > It would take a lot of work. And that's probably the reason no one wants to step up ... but I do not think that everything has to be done at once, let's just start steering towards that goal (if there are no objections ...), and maybe, after some months/years/some people joining/some leaving, we'll reach a state where the whole process will be simplified to something like "yum install kolab; systemctl enable kolab.service" for Fedora users ... > Perhaps you and I can work together on it? Hopefully ... so, where to start? Something I can do without good knowledge about Kolab architecture and modules etc., learning things on the go? Any _really_ recommended reading for me?
