Kolab will definitely not be available in OpenPKG v1.3 as we never
changed the ingredients of a release in the past and we have no plans to
do it in the future.

The Kroupware people once planned to distribute their own "kolab"
package and modify Kolab to use OpenPKG v1.3 packages where they
previously used OpenPKG v1.1 with own modifications.

As time went by we have imported their modifications and even their
"kolab" package into CURRENT so the next OpenPKG release will include
them all the required features and a "kolab" package.

Yes, CURRENT is always under heavy development and subject to continous
updates. Also the OpenPKG ftp server only keeps the latest version of
any CURRENT SRPM. In addition OpenPKG does not provide binaries for
CURRENT. Today, CURRENT is very close to what you'll get with the next
OpenPKG release.

What we did to support the Kroupware community is to capture a snapshot
of all relevant OpenPKG packages, include the obmtool build script
with configuration, build lots of binaries and put all the stuff on
ftp://ftp.zfos.org/brew/kolab where it is kept - at least longer as on
OpenPKG CURRENT.

The 20031126 snapshot is worth trying. It was tested by some people from
the Kroupware community and they seem to be quite happy with it.
