Toltec Migration Tool

Hi,

We have release the first public beta of the Toltec Migration Tool. This
enables you to migrate mail and groupware data from a Microsoft Exchange
servers to Kolab servers, in the process translating the data to Kolab-XML.

The page for the migration tool is http://www.toltec.co.za/migration.html.

There was also a patch mentioned by Liutauras in
http://www.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-users/2007-September/006740.html

Did you try the new Kolab Server/OpenPKG 2.2-beta2 yet?
If it does not work in there, we should make it work
and resolve the necessary issues with the OpenPKG guys.

I recommend to use a fresh new directory for recovery,
this will avoid potential problems with old file names.
There are several methods how to "create" and fill this folder.

One is to keep the cyrus.* files and have cyrreconstruct "discover"
the new folder with the "-f" option.

There is a hypothesis that some 2.6 kernels before 2.6.19.2 can cause
problems with the skiplist.db format, if this is used by Cyrus to store
mailboxes and annotations.

Details see kolab/issue840 (Annotations needs to be more robust (skiplist 
problems, ext3, Linux)).

Re: Problem with Kontact on ubuntu 7.10

I think the main point here is that 20070907 not the latest
for the enterprise branch and it might be directly build from a SVN state
where things were broken. We are actively fixing problems in there
and from time to time make a snapshot which we do quality testing
for KK customers.

See http://apt.intevation.de/dists/etch/unstable/source/
for the revision numbers that are currrent and have seen some testing.
Critical issues with them will be fixed by us very soon (usually for the next 
one).

I suggest trying a new Kubuntu package from    
kdepim_3.5.6.enterprise.0.20071025.729306.
As Kolab developers we are much interesting in getting something like 
http://kolab.org/mill running for Kubuntu package, help welcome.

Bernhard

Which branch to pick (was: Problem with Kontact on ubuntu 7.10)

As with most other software, best is to have a contract with somebody
that makes sure critical issues are addressed timely.

Kolab-Konsortium is providing such contracts and we make the software results
available to everybody. Thus if somebody pays us to make a reliable Debian 
Sarge package, we do so and everybody else can use it. The proko2 branch
appeared this way and so the very reliable Debian Sarge packages from it.
Also Univention has a reliable KDE Kolab client packaged 
based on our services.

Thus we know that the proko2 branch is very reliable, but good operation
does not only depend on what we do in the branch, but also in the other KDE 
libraries and other configurations. KK can support this as well, but we need
to ramp up this to a point for each configuration which is quite an effort.
As we have no customer paying this effort for OpenSuse 10.0, we cannot
do packages with the same quality. Despite we would like to. :(
It also seems Novell wa not interested enough so far (we hope the change 
this as Kolab gets more and more important).

This is just an explanation why things are as they are.
And if you run a GNU/Linux workstation, you should look for a vendor

Also try running the script with "bash -x" to find out what
the called command is that leads to the problem.
