Re: [CentOS] Centos 8 install of squirrelmail

2019-12-03 Thread Earl Terwilliger via CentOS
Hi,

Yes.. that is what I did.. I built it from the fedora 31 source via:

dnf install rpm-build perl-generators

wget
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

rpmbuild --rebuild squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

and it works fine!

Re: [CentOS] Centos 8 install of squirrelmail

2019-12-03 Thread Thomas Stephen Lee
Hi,

You can rebuild the RPM on a CentOS 8 box from

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-1.el7.20190710.src.rpm
or
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

and install the resulting RPM.


For the source

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/

the last commit was 6 days ago.

you can use

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/branches/SM-1_4-STABLE/squirrelmail/contrib/RPM/squirrelmail.spec

if you are interested in hacking, as the default configuration is different
from CentOS.

thanks

As far as I know, squirrelmail is noT actively maintained for quite some
time:

https://www.squirrelmail.org/

For this reason, variety of distributions phase it out, or may do it
soon. Latest version coming as port on FreeBSD is dated Apr 4, 2018 (it
runs under PHP-7.2 so I'm happy so far). I maintain two webmail front
ends: squirrelmail and round cube. I plan to replace squirrelmail with
Horde webmail soon.

I hope, this helps.

Thanks.. Squirrelmail is still available on Fedora 31 so I was thinking it
still should be around for centos 8 (and it does work on the latest
versions of php)

I will have to look around for something to replace it but the big problem
is getting the users to like something new...


Horde webmail seems to be closest in appearance and interaction with 
user. Round cube is way different. I must confess though, I didn't have 
time to try horde webmail yet.


Yes, and Fedora fully escaped my mind... so Fedora source package 
rebuilt on your system may be the smoothest solution.

Squirrelmail is dead. Nobody did the work to port it to a recent php
version. So I think you should switch to another webmail software.
Roundcube is a good choice in my option, but there is also no package in
EPEL 8.


Thanks, that confirms my knowledge. FreeBSD port I have mentioned in my 
reply to OP's post does work with PHP 7.2. It could be port maintainer 
who made necessary patching. Anyway, as an interim solution while 
choosing what to migrate to it is possible to download tarball of 
FreeBSD port, and installed what is in it. It shouldn't be much trouble: 
php 7.2 it depends on is php 7.2 whatever system it is installed on. 
Just thought.


Here is the link to FreeBSD port:

https://www.freshports.org/mail/squirrelmail/

Here is reference to squirrelmail snapshots from the above:

http://snapshots.squirrelmail.org/


I hope, this helps.
