Hi,

yep, Debian 10 is supported and works fine - it's just that the documentation 
doesn't reflect that fact yet. To be precise, the documentation sources 
themselves have been updated, but the build job is currently broken, so 
https://docs.kolab.org/ hasn't seen any updates in a while...

As for upcoming Debian 11 support, that's something I definitely intend to 
work on. I'm currently attempting to port libkolab to KDE Frameworks 5 in 
order to get rid of the dependency on libcalendaring and Qt 4. That's a 
prerequisite for supporting any recent distro because everybody either has 
already dropped Qt 4 or is about to do it. I haven't got a clear picture yet 
of how much of a hassle this endeavour is going to prove, so wish me luck.

Best,
Christoph
