Is there any pre-release documentation I could test to try and get this working? We discontinued our investment on minig for some time and we advise to use roundcube instead. We have done some work to integrate some OBM features into roundcube and you can find more informations about it at http://obm.org/doku.php?id=roundcube Unfortunately, I am unable to access the GIT repository at http://git.obm.org/roundcube but https://git.obm.org/roundcube answers (with the SSL certificate for atlassian-obm.linagora.com) and requests a username and password. Sorry, I have now done some more reading about GIT and understand better how this works. (It might be worth putting a note in the wiki for GIT virgins, such as myself.) I misunderstood that the URL given was a web link to the files. It is in fact a GIT repository path. So, to obtain the code you must type: git clone http://git.obm.org/roundcube obm-rc cd obm-rc/plugins/obm_addressbook This checks-out a local copy of the code, which you can then play with. Now I have my hands on it I will test and report back.

[Obm] New recruit testing 2.4-rc2 on Ubuntu 10.04.3 (64-bit)
Bonjour (sorry but that is as far as my written French goes without error!), I am very impressed at having found the OBM project. I see it as an open source alternative to Microsoft Small Business server, which I have seeking for many years. Previously I have had a go a rolling my own solutions using OpenLDAP, Dovecot, Postfix and SAMBA. I have been studying the wiki and testing the new 2.4 release on Ubuntu LTS Server (10.04.3 64-bit) with a fresh installation in a virtual machine. I am using the Debian repository at http://deb.obm.org/daily as my source. Ideally I would like to use MySQL as the database back-end but understand the limitations of this with Minig at the moment. The main issues I have found so far are that the 2.4 .deb files require old packages only found in the Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.x) LTS release. To work-around this I have added the following (in addition to the OBM daily repository) to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ hardy main deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ hardy-updates main deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ hardy-security main Then, to prevent any of these old packages from taking preference, I created /etc/apt/preferences containing the following: Packages: * Pin: release n=hardy Pin-Priority: 10 This then allows the basic installation to succeed by typing: apt-get install obm mysql-server php5-mysql OBM Satellite starts and immediately dies as it can't write its PID to the .run file. To fix this, I needed to type (as root or prefixed by sudo): mkdir /var/run/obm service obm-satellite start After this I have all the basic OBM 2.4 services running for e-mail with LDAP integration. As you probably guessed, my preferred language is English and I noticed a few mistakes and omissions in the 2.4 translations. The first being the Logon button on the OBM home page! I have a few questions, which I am hoping others on the list can assist me with: 1. Do you agree with my approach for getting 2.4 to install on Ubuntu Lucid? 2. Why did the daily builds stop on 31st March? They are stuck at rc2 but I see from the releases page that rc5 is out and could well fix some of the bugs I noted above. 3. I have not had much luck getting Minig to work in this environment yet. Ideally I would use Roundcube as I am already familiar with this. Is there any pre-release documentation I could test to try and get this working? 4. How can I assist with translation work and help improve the English support in 2.4? 5. If I were to implement a new server, are the 2.4 release candidates the best way to go or should I use 2.3.x and then migrate when 2.4 is finally released? Thanks for all your work on 2.4 so far. Hopefully I can assist in any way possible to making it a great release?

Hi Ian, thanks for your feedback, Concerning your will to help us with the english mistakes in OBM, I am very interested in collecting everything you can notice (directly by email is ok). I am also interested in all kind of bugs report. For all the other points, someone else with a better skill in OB integration than me, will answer to you.

Hi Ian, First, thanks for your interest in our product. See my answers below : Le dimanche 21 août 2011 à 23:31 +0100, Ian McMichael a écrit : [...] I have a few questions, which I am hoping others on the list can assist me with: 1. Do you agree with my approach for getting 2.4 to install on Ubuntu Lucid? I don't have a better way for this, our packages should be updated in the futur to match recent versions of debian and ubuntu. 2. Why did the daily builds stop on 31st March? They are stuck at rc2 but I see from the releases page that rc5 is out and could well fix some of the bugs I noted above. Work is currently under way to rationalize our repositories and continuous integration processes. During this work, repositories doesn't hold latest versions of our work. It will be fixed for 2.4 release. 3. I have not had much luck getting Minig to work in this environment yet. Ideally I would use Roundcube as I am already familiar with this.
