[pkg-kolab] Status and Roadmap?

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello,

I have tried multiple times to get kolab running the debian way on my
 unstable server following the instructions at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kolab/trunk/kolabd/debian/README.Debian?op=fil
e&rev=0&sc=0 and have failed every time. I don't have all the details for my
last failure handy, since I can't access my install log from where I am, but
issues I had to battle through as a newbie were missing references to the
need to activate apache2s ssl module and the likes. There were also
configuration file lines that had to be commented out to get them parsed
properly, the 'calendar' user password in the example ldap info is not given
in cleartext, the
kolab-webadmin package is not in "deb
http://pkg-kolab.alioth.debian.org/experimental-packages/ ./" and so on. I'm
more than happy to pass all this on, but from the (lack of) answers to
previous posts I don't get the impression that there's interest in helping
people who aren't kolab-savvy already.
Please let me know:
1) what's the plan with the packages? Are they reaching experimental status
soon?
2) can there be an addition to the howto describing the build of packages
up-to-date with the projects svn repository (the packages in the above deb
archive don't seem to be updated).
3) What's the status of the bootstrap? Is there any interaction going on with
the gentooizer of kolab at http://projects.gunnarwrobel.de/kolab, who has a
bootstrap up and running?

I'm  big kontact fan and would really like to get this running as a backend!
You were requesting feedback to the installation instructions, but I did not
receive answers to previous posts - please state that you only want your
stuff tested by specialists if that's the case ... but if you intend to get
your packages into debian proper, you will have to deal with the noobs like
me sooner or later ...
