I've recently been working on packaging Heimdal, Samba4 and

This will enable much better access to Microsoft Exchange servers from
clients such as kdepim, and hopefully Evolution (pending a
re-licensing).
I've got a feature page for this here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenChange
Now, the reason I'm posting here is that I would rather not do this
alone, and would love some co-maintainers of the packagers above, or at
least some help with the review and sponsorship, or advise on the best
way forward.
Any assistance gratefully received,
Just pulled down the packages (including the alpha5 samba4 package) and
started building. I haven't got to the kde libraries yet (that build will
probably take awhile) but on the packages above, I found the following:
heimdal:
- openssl-devel depends on krb5-devel, but heimdal-devel conflicts with
krb5-devel; should it provide it or do we need a virtual provides for
krb5?
- heimdal seemed to be missing a file directive for the dir.gz info file
samba4:
- everything seems fine here so far...
libmapi:
- didn't list the popt requirement, so initially I built without it and the
packaging failed due to missing binaries (which required popt-devel)
- libmapi-devel should depend on libmapi-0.7... rather than
libmapi-libs-0.7...?
I've attached my spec file diffs in case you want to see (though now I see
you've already fixed the libmapi-libs problem I saw)...
Thanks for packaging this stuff, I really hope the MAPI Akonadi code works;
I'd *love* to ditch Outlook (it's the next best thing to escaping the
Exchange ghetto).
Thanks,
Jesse
