phpgroupware-0.9.16 in Debian’s NEW queue… unofficial binary packages available

phpGroupware 0.9.16 entered the NEW queue of Debian.

Meanwhile, interested users may test the packages following instructions at https://picoforge.int-evry.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Phpgwdeb/Web/WebHome#Packages_availability

As you’ll see, the packages layout has changed a little bit compared to previous package, and not all phpgw apps are in (yet).

Update 20080314 : the package was refused because the (previously existing) copyright files were not precise enough on licenses relating to the program. Another try will follow as soon as I have completed my copyright/licenses review of the package contents (long and painfull 😉

RFS for phpgroupware

I’ve just completed a repackaging of phpGroupware for Debian, so I’m asking for sponsorship by a Debian developer (RFS sent to debian-mentors).

Potential sponsors, see you in FOSDEM tomorrow and sunday, maybe 😉

Update 2008/03/06 : Loïc Dachary generously proposed himself for sponsoring our package. I have updated the package whose source is still at the link above, to correct a few minor bits. Let’s hope it will make a nice journey to Debian NEW now.

Sympa and phpGroupware (soon ?) in Debian testing

Cool. We make progress on the PicoForge (1.1) dependencies in Debian :

  • Sympa was momentarily out of testing, since it had a “grave” bug when trying to install it over PostGreSQL. I found a workaround, I think, so removed the grave status of that bug, and now Sympa is back in testing. We’re still working out a proper fix… but in between I think I found something nasty around debconf and locales… more details later maybe.
  • phpGroupware, may soon come back to Debian. Due to its maintainer MIA, it was removed from Debian (testing and unstable), so we (Christian and myself) motivated to take over the maintenance of the package, and finally filed an ITP. Let’s see if we find sponsors, and how we manage to maintain it (we habe setup a project in PicoForge to do so)… I hope it won’t be too much work, and that the upcoming 0.9.18 will help lower the maintenance efforts.

Now all this is improving, we may concentrate on PicoForge again ? 😉

Debian package for TWiki LDAP contrib adapter (a bit outdated though)

Currently considering my intention of becoming maintainer of some Debian packages, I realized I had not blogged about the packaging I made for TWikiLdapContrib, an adapter for users and groups management in TWiki based on a LDAP directory.

See https://picoforge.int-evry.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Picoforge/Web/TwikiLdapcontribDeb for more details on this package made for PicoForge.

I should add that it’s a bit outdated wrt the upstream package… but it seems to work for our use in PicoForge 😉

Update 20071005 :

I’ve issued a RFS for version 1.11 of the package, which is the current version advertised on twiki.org.

I’m also working on packaging the future 2.0 version provided by the author.

All details in the link above in Picoforge’s wiki.
