packaging zimbra

[Rakesh Pandit]

Hello list,

  I am Fedora Package Maintainer and really interested in getting
zimbra into official
fedora repository. It would be great if we (interested folks here) get
together and get
it done ASAP.

Thanks & Cheers!!

Great.  Are you in touch with any of the folks from Zimbra?  Or will you 
be tackling the packaging by yourself?

would be very much ++ or
even anyone who would is ready to get together with me.

Rakesh,

You might want to start by looking at dependencies.  We have started one for Alfresco:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Alfresco.  This way we can determine overlaps so we
don't duplicate efforts.

We have two people at Alfresco that are currently working on finishing up packages for
Ubuntu.  Once they are finished they are going to start working on the RPMs for Fedora.

Rakesh,

This is VERY exciting!  I posted a message on the Zimbra Forums to help 
gather interest:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/developers/20313-zimbra-fedora.html

Not sure if you need a zimbra login to view it, so here is the message:

There has been some recent discussion in the Fedora community about 
making Zimbra an RPM and getting Zimbra into Fedora. Fedora Package 
Maintainer, Rakesh Pandit, is ready to lead the effort.
* Wanna help & contribute?
* Already using Fedora and want to see Zimbra available to millions of 
users with a simple, one-command install? :::: yum install zimbra


Check out the ISV Special Interest Group (SIG) at 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/ISV and join the mailing list at 
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listi...a-isv-sig-list

In full disclosure, I do work for Red Hat, but this is such a great idea 
that it seems inevitable for Zimbra to get into Fedora.

Regards,
Jason

I've been in contact with Zimbra and am connecting through to the right
people to bring to this party.  I'll report back ASAP.

Nice,

I had been using zimbra and playing with it for quite some time now ;-)
There is one things which I wanted before building rpm this weekend.

I have posted it at:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/developers/20313-zimbra-fedora.html

"It would be great if whole zimbra source code (most recent stable) is
uploaded at some place in (may be tar.gz or tar.bz2 compressed file).
Currently, if I am right we need to checkout code using preforce and
then build."

It has been quite some time and no response :-/

I would anyway go ahead with checked out code for the moment.
