Look in the directories in the following order, remembering the rules about mixing RELEASE and CURRENT packages of course.
ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/UPD/ ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/ ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/current/SRC/ There are several RDF files describing the contents of package subdirectories, however there's no tool yet that uses these to navigate the repository for informational purposes such as browsing. >It would be much easyer for me if I could stay with a mailserver that >easily migrats the existing mailbox repositories.

WU-imap is not available and neither is Courier. Any such package contributions are welcome but please ensure they conform to OpenPKG standards (the speclint, fsllint, and rclint programs can validate this). I don't know which mailbox format you need to convert to Cyrus', but I've found the following to work great when converting from standard Unix mailboxes to Cyrus' db stored format: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html#78500 It uses Net::IMAP to talk to a Cyrus IMAP mailserver and inject messages from standard Unix mailboxes into the Cyrus server's db structure. Because no OpenPKG perl-*** packages contain Net:IMAP, I have my own hacked package. Just ask if you want to use it. If this is indeed what you need, then I'll warn you right away that you need to make a few modifications to the script (changing '.' to '/' for user mailboxes, the path to perl, mailserver name, etcetera.) I can send you my own hacked script if you want, although there really are just a few changes. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development Team, Operations Northern Europe Cable & Wireless Telecommunications Services GmbH
