Patches for a new horde driver sent upstream

The patches for the Horde Share driver that I created last week have seen some minor fixes and I did send them upstream now to get a first review from the horde devs. You'll find the patches attached to the ticket in the horde bug database or in the Kolab/Gentoo overlay.

Kolab currently stalled

My Kolab conversion to Gentoo has been stalled for a longer time now. I am currently programming some basic stuff that I feel I need before continuing on the project. This is progressing well and I hope to get back to Kolab in January. This hopefully coincides with the release of Kolab 2.1 which feature use of the autotools. This should also simplify the conversion.

CVS updates

Integrated the latest kolab cvs changes into the code.

I started wrapping up cyrus imapd but it will still take a few days to be convinced that all kolab features work.

The problem with ownership of /var/lib/openldap-data after bootstrapping should not appear anymore and Henning helped me to identify another bug in the perl-kolab ebuild.

Kolab updates

I broke the kolab-webadmin and the kolabd ebuilds last week. Fixed that today and they should both work again.

I addded all recent diffs from the kolab cvs which hopefully allows to create domain maintainers. I did not check this yet.

My postfix checks are running fine now and I updated the comments on the postfix page concerning changes in the configuration as compared to the original kolab.

I also modified the postfix users so that the special kolab users are not used anymore. When using these new templates you need to empty your postfix spool directory:

rm -rf /var/spool/postfix/*

Fixing template configurations

Updated the ClamAV, Amavisd-new, and the Spamassassin templates for Gentoo. This brings me a step closer to finally fix postfix so that the Kolab server can actually send mail ... which is a nice feature for a mail server.

Postfix needs correct kolab-resource-handlers

The postfix ebuild in portage seems to be ok and the newer version of postfix (2.2.2) contains the patches that are being applied in the older OpenPKG version. But the new version needs some fixes on the master.cf template included in kolabd.

The postfix part of Gentoo-Kolab does not work yet since the kolab-resource-handlers need to be fixed first.

Postfix ebuild for Kolab

Postfix is slightly more difficult than I initially believed. The new postfix 2.2.2 package available from portage (Kolab uses 2.1.5) contains the patches included in the current Kolab version but there are some differences in the configuration files. So I will have to fix the templates for postfix.
