Hi, me and Atul Jha (koolhead17) have updated the OwnCloud package in Ubuntu.
It's looking lovely!
Cool :-) Its great to have good packages.
Issues I've found:
Too hard to make it fit into the FHS as required by most distributions, there
should be an easy way to move the backup/ config/ and data/ dirs to a different
place (/var) than the main install (/usr). Currently I'm using a patch which
it's not neat
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/owncloud/precise/files/head:/debian/patches/
Hmm, at least data dir can be configured in config/config.php
Too hard to replace the shipped PEAR modules with system ones, I have patched
this in the past but it's too hard to do so I've given up.
We need to investigate if the shipped PEAR's are special in any regard
and if we really need that. If not we should go for the system ones anyway.
Have you moved the PEARs into a subpackage btw?
This patch to clairy the icon licence (if correct) would be great

Lastly the Ubuntu package has not been updated in a while, this is
because of a lack of ownership. It could be the server team but
they're not too interested (it competes with Canonical's offerings).
It could be the Kubuntu team but alas KDE has been unfriendly enough
that OwnCloud is no longer part of KDE. If KDE sorts out their "what
is KDE Software" policy and you see fit to come back it would be to
our mutual benefit.
Agreed. I also hope that will come to a beneficial end for both sides again.
I think we should have kind of 'official' owncloud packages. I started
to think about that, all what came out of this yet are repositories in
the openSUSE Buildservice, see [1]. From there we could push to the
distros.
As you might know the open buildservice builds for all major distros,
not only openSUSE. Do you think we could convince you to help
maintaining an ownCloud package for (K)Ubuntu there? Would that be an
option?
