Tim, My thoughts exactly. I've been waiting for a stable iFolder for months. No wait, years.
Who knows whats actually going on with Novell and iFolder. The product had such amazing potential - I've yet to find something that could be used as a replacement. If any one has any suggestions I'd be really interested. I was assuming that OES2 was going to bring ifolder back to life. Given that is sold to customers, and given Novell talk about ifolder in the marketing of that product I was expecting it to have had some time put into it via those development teams. Anyone from Novell shed any light on when we will ever see a product that can be used in production as an actual strategic piece of technology? Thanks, Steve.

There hasn't been one since some version of 3.4 way back when. There was supposed to be a stable 3.5 release last year around march but that never happened. Some time ago there was a "developer stable" release of 3.5. The word "stable" should not have been used in that release. I am running it and it's far from stable. If you want 3.6 your best bet is probably the source code but that doesn't build on all systems. Please be aware that people have reported problems with the 3.6 windows client too. At this point all you have is some alpha quality code both in the server and the client. If you want to play with it then go the subversion and try to build it. If you are running a novell linux then you can try the RPMs. If you are not running novell then you have to install all the dependencies. There was a thread about it here while I was trying to build it on centos (to save you the time don't bother, it didn't build). There is no release target date for 3.6. Nobody has been willing to commit to one either. It will be done if and when it gets done. There is very little activity on the mailing list. There is very little communication between the developers and the users. There is virtually no communication at all between novell and the ifolder users. If you run into problems you may not be able to get any help at all. At this time this is a project for the curious or the exceptionally brave. If you are neither one of these then I suggest you don't go down this path. Definitely not for production use. _______________________________________________ ifolder-dev mailing list [email protected] http://forge.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/ifolder-dev
