Sure, cc'd there now.

Ah, 2.4 ok. I'm just confused by that because the latest release tagged 
in the kolab git repositories are around 2.3. I just want to make sure 
that the debian packages are the exact same as the rhel packages. Maybe 
I am missing something here.

In the Kolab git repos', what is the difference between 'server' and 
'kolab-server'?

Ah thanks, I was using the instructions in the old wikipedia for 2.2.

I did find them but not at this URL. They are at 
svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-kolab/kolabd/trunk/. Are they the same?

Thanks for the help and the links,
