Hello

this is a follow up on my initial test run of Kolab 3.3. Last 
evening/night I started to reinstall my testsystem again and tried to 
configure and test a few things that were announced as the big new 
features of Kolab 3.3. Well ... apart from stuff that is not enabled by 
default or parameter that haven't been configured I came a cross lots of 
default configuration, packaging or other bugs.

Since up until now I couldn't report most of them as bugs in bugzilla or 
even fix them in OBS so here's my long list of notes. Maybe I just don't 
know how to configure things the right way but some stuff is a bit 
chaotic.

Some the bugs have already been opened as ticket but I'll list them 
(again) just to have a full list of stuff that I came across. Oh and I 
still have the opinion that features the system provides should be 
enabled by default (wallace for resource management, kolab_tags, etc). 
People still can disable them if they don't need them but they start to 
wonder if there's a function (like resource booking) that is enabled by 
default in roundcube but won't work until actually include wallace in 
the mail flow.

If I find the time I'll open bug if that's speeds up the error finding 
:-)

roundcubemail
-------------

## debian package bug

missing public_html folder
FIXED: Already fixed at the time when I finished my notes



roundcubemail-plugin-contextmenu
--------------------------------

## incompatible

The contextenu 1.x won't work with roundcube 1.1 but 2.x has problems 
that needs to be resolved in the upstream package first before packaging
Ticket: https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3266



pykolab
-------

## error message during first setup-kolab (on debian)

2014-08-13 10:46:46,371 pykolab.conf ERROR Could not change permissions 
on /var/log/kolab/pykolab.log: OSError(2, 'No such file or directory')
old bug but still present: https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2798

## ldap/folderacl_entry_attribute

The new config parameter used for ACL management of shared folders is 
missing the example kolab.conf, the setup-kolab generated kolab.conf and 
has no default value in case it's not configured

2014-08-13 11:55:25,835 pykolab.conf WARNING Option 
ldap/folderacl_entry_attribute does not exist in config file 
/etc/kolab/kolab.conf, pulling from defaults
2014-08-13 11:55:25,836 pykolab.conf WARNING Option does not exist in 
defaults.#

Workaround: kolab.conf: ldap/folderacl_entry_attribute = acl + 
kolab-server restart

## error when creating a new shared folder

2014-08-13 11:57:22,253 pykolab.auth ERROR An error occured using 
_paged_search: CYRUSError(99, 'SETACL', 'Mailbox does not exist')

$ kolab sync -d 9 2>&1 | grep ^.SET
[SETANNOTATION shared/[email protected]] OK: None
[SETACL [email protected] [email protected] lrswipkxtecdn] 
BAD: Mailbox does not exist

sounds like a missing "shared/" prefix in the folder name when trying to 
set acl.

## invalid default imap uri

default cyrus-imap/uri in kolab.conf points to imaps://localhost:993 
even imaps is not configured in the vanilla installation resulting in 
kolab-freebusy not working until this has changed or ssl is configured



cyrus-imapd
-----------

## Problem with metadata/folders

Ticket: https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3253
Workaround: echo "suppress_capabilities: METADATA" >> /etc/imapd.conf + 
restart

But this should be fixed in the upsteam package first I guess.



postfix
-------

## wallace not activated by default

wallace deamons are running but are not configured to be used in the 
vanilla default installation

workaround: /etc/postfix/master.conf
127.0.0.1:10025 [...]
     -o content_filter=smtp-wallace:[127.0.0.1]:10026



resources/wallace
-----------------

## Summary

* booking of single resources == FAIL (NDR)
* booking of resource collection == SUCCESS
* booking of resource collection at the same time == ERROR

## booking single resource

1) enable wallace via postfix master.conf
2) create resource beamer1
3) create appointment + book resource beamer1 + save

I receive a non-delivery-notification even the mail is getting processed 
by wallace and the mailbox in general should exist

## booking resource collection

1) create resource collection beamers + add beamer1
2) create appointment + book resource collection beamers + save

SUCCESS
* from: beamers - Reservation Request for test1 was Delegated
* from: beamer1 - Reservation Request for test1 was Accepted

3) create appointment different date/time + book resource collection 
beamers + save

Note: You don't see the freebusys calendar of the resources. it's 
completely empty

SUCCESS

4) create appointment same date/time + book resource collection beamers 
+ save

kolab-freebusy
--------------

I kinda feel helpless with correct way on how to configure freebusy and 
make it work

## debian package bug

* missing folder /var/{lib,cache}/kolab-freebusy
   workaround: mkdir -p /var/{cache,lib}/kolab-freebusy ; chown 
kolab:kolab /var/{cache,lib}/kolab-freebusy

## config.ini.sample

* logfolder should be ./logs not ./log
* rename kolab-ldap to kolab-users
* add kolab-resources
* comment out exchange (leave it as example only)
* default imap connection points to imaps but ssl is not configured in 
the default installation
' filter @yourdomain not replaced by the default domain during 
setup-kolab

## strange search / database error

## cron

* is it usefull or should freebusy always be generated on demand
* missing cron job to actually generate the freebusy files

kolab-syncroton + others
------------------------

## Mixed table characterset in mysql.initial.sql files

reported already in my previous mail:
https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3262



kolab-notes
-----------

## missing + button

while plugins like addressbook have a [+] button bottom toolbar, the 
notes plugin does not

## locales

A few german locales are missing. I know it's time to register at 
transoflex or whatever it is called :-)



kolab-tags
----------

Even announced as new feature for the roundcube mail clients, it's not 
enabed by default.
