 we are happy to announce the Debian Kolab (www.kolab.org) packages:

 http://pkg-kolab.alioth.debian.org/

 We built these packages for one of our customer at work
 (www.credativ.de) and are happy to give the work completly to Debian and
 the users.
 The reason why we don't use the upstream openpkg system is, that we love
 the Debian package management and don't want to administrate a second
 package system (openpkg) in the Debian one. See

 http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_linux_distribution_integration

 We will finalize these packages and will then beginn to upload them to
 experimental.

From what I saw from the svn repository, is that you patched quite some files 
to get this working isn't it?

 The steps are:
 1. add deb http://pkg-kolab.alioth.debian.org/experimental-packages/ ./
 to your sources.list
 2. apt-get update; apt-get install kolabd
 3. Read
 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kolab/trunk/kolabd/debian/README.Debian?op=f
ilerev=0sc=0 4. Tell us problems, bugs, suggestions on our mailinglist
 http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kolab-devel

Why didn't you use the dist_conf method, just specify all paths and files in 
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/server/kolabd/kolabd/dist_conf/debian?rev=1.4content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
and make (actually./configure) kolab with --with-dist=debian 
--without-openpkg.  Now you ontain kolab without need to patch it :)  For 
suse this works now, I guess for debian most of it will work as well.  If not 
the code should be adapted for it (if possible).

With the dist_conf method you're also getting the possibility to access kolab 
at e.g. https://fqdn/kolab/admin iso just https://fqdn/admin.

Bug#297439: run netselect as user

2005-02-28 Thread Richard Bos
Package: netselect
Version: 0.3-4
Severity: wishlist

I use netselect version 0.2 already for quite some time on my suse systems and 
I'm happy with it.  As such I adviced suse to have netselect included.  Suse 
is not just picking up the package as netselect can run by root only, or has 
this changed since version 0.2?

Suse is reluctant to include netselect, as they have a traceroute version that 
can be run by ordinary users and for this reason they expect netselect to be 
able to run by ordinary users as well.  Perhaps can you have a look at suse's 
traceroute implementation to make netselect capable to be run by ordinary 
users too?

The suse traceroute src rpm can be found at:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.2-i386/SRPMS.base/net-tools-1.60-551.src.rpm

thanks for your suggestion, I'll give suse's traceroute a look and see it I 
can change the relevant code for netselect!
