[In the news] Zarafa Collaboration Platform 6.40 Goes Gold
by Robert Scheck
Hello,
Zarafa's offical press release "Zarafa Collaboration Platform 6.40 Goes
Gold" mentions Fedora nicely:
http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/press/20100610%20Zarafa%20Collaboration...
Given to the whole press release, they've written a nice break about us.
Note that Mandriva is just a Fedora downstream if it comes to Zarafa. They
use our Source RPM as base.
[...]
Since February 2010, the Fedora Project is shipping the 6.30 series of the
ZCP. The active Fedora releases 12 and 13 will ship Zarafa 6.40.0 as well
as the Fedora Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux releases 4 and 5. EPEL 6 beta (for the upcoming
RHEL 6 in autumn, which is RHEL 6 beta right now) will also get Zarafa
6.40.0 as soon as possible: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Zarafa.
The ZCP 6.40.0 is also available through the Canonical Partner repository
for the popular Ubuntu distribution:
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/z/zarafa/. Mandriva, a
third free Linux distribution project, includes Zarafa as well.
