Multi-Domain Support?

is there a doable way of using kolab for multiple domains?
With the same instance or with many kolab-servers running on one machine?

thx in advance

Sharing calendar info (free/busy) between Kolab Server and Exchan ge Server

"It depends on what you understand by "sharing".
Kolab Clients can use the Freebusy list and invite people
by email that using Outlook/Exchange."

What I'm asking is if during a migration from one platform to another (in
this case, Exchange Server to Kolab Server), can the users using Outlook
client connecting to an Exchange server (via MAPI) see free/busy information
of those on the Kolab server.  Of course, then the question is can users
using Outlook client to connect to the Kolab server see free/busy info of
those users still on Exchange Server?  If so, is there a protocol
requirement for the Outlook client to use when connecting to the Kolab
server?

Thanks so much for your time.

New install questions

I am about to attempt an install of kolab on my mail server at home. Its a
Debian/sarge system, and I have some concerns/questions about the install.

1) According to the instructions, the source files are in .src.rpm format.
Since Debian uses a .deb format, by default, you would have a separate
rpm database. Given this, would it work/would it be prudent to use alien
to convert these to debs before installing?

2) I already have an instance of postfix running on this box, however
postfix is one of the packages that is required packages for kolab. What is
the best order of events to change over to the kolab MTA, and does the
kolab version of Postfix still use the config in /etc/postfix?

3) Does the _entire_ kde need to be recompiled? 

I just pluckered all of the documentation I could find (the QIMs and raw
HOWTOs from CVS), the architecture, FAQ and technical from the web page,
but in scanning over them, didn't see answers to these questions. If they
are covered, I apologize for wasting time and bandwidth.

TIA,

Kolab uses OpenPKG, which uses RPM internally. It wont affect your Debian
install in any way (it is self contained). I would recommend against using 
something like alien in this instance.

You can get the Debian 3 (I think this is Sarge?) binaries at www.zfos.org
and save yourself some trouble compiling if you are interested.

Nope as mentioned, Kolab is self-contained with its own package database.
You will find the postfix config for Kolab under /kolab/etc/postfix
You should edit the template files in /kolab/etc/kolab (main.cf.template and
master.cf.template) and then execute /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab -v -o to propogate
the config files.

Re: Sharing calendar info (free/busy) between Kolab Server and Exchan ge Server

Hi Michael,

The only possible way of doing this "as-is" would be to configure all of your
MS-Outlook clients to export and check Free/Busy times on the Kolab server
while still connected to exchange. MS-Outlook "should" be able to Export/Import
Free/Busy times from Outlook using FTP/HTTP/HTTPS while still connected
to Exchange. (Options->Calendar Options->Free/Busy)

Automatic replication of Free/Busy information between Kolab and Exchange 
will require some custom programs to be written. 

Regards,
Stephan

i run my kolab server inside a vserver, which allows you to run many 
distributions, on one machine.

Stephan already answered most of your questions.

I want to add a important note regarding OpenPKG. Do not attempt to
install OpenPKG on Debian/sarge these days. It is sadly broken. We
at OpenPKG are currently very busy fixing packages to get out the
next major release. We have identified the root cause of the problem
and fixing it requires some changes to the very heart of the OpenPKG
bootstrap. I assume we can fix it on Wednesday.

Before we do the stuff initiated by Debian/sarge, we have to commit
another unrelated major change which I hope will make it into the
repository tomorrow. The change is small, just a new RPM header, but the
effect is big: packages created with and after that commit cannot be
used with any OpenPKG version prior 20040130. Keep that in mind.

Watch the ixDLT row (ix86-debian3.1) on
http://www.openpkg.org/status.cgi and start deployment
on your favorite platform when all lights are green.

KDE3.2 release

I saw on the KDE site today that 3.2 has been released. As I am about to
deploy Kroupware at home, and I _think_ I recall seeing that the kdepim and
kdenetwork pieces in 3.2 should have kroupware functionality built in.

Does it?

Thanks,
