True. And this should be really easy if you would work on our
repository. (At least for the kolab-cyrus packages)

I must add though that while this is a possibility, doing so isn't
really recommended, but might be a step towards a joined package.

My point might not have been clear in earlier mails:
I have nothing against a single source package providing both
kolab-cyrus-imap and cyrus-imap binary packages. However, I would
personally not touch any bug that is kolab related, as I find the kolab
patches too intrusive.
And as far as I understood Henrique, he only objected to have the kolab
patches in the main cyrus packages (but already suggested providing two
flavours of binary packages from the same source).

regards,
Sven
