[Users] spec file and config_template.xml

Hello Tuan,

Maybe you can look into:
zmzimletctl getConfigTemplate <zimlet.zip>

https://www.zimbra.com/docs/os/6.0.8/administration_guide/Zimlets.11.4.html

I think maybe, for ownCloud Zimlet and pgp zimlet as well, you could begin with
coping config_template.xml only on install AND NOT on upgrades, or even better
only copy it, in case it is NOT present yet on the server.

That way, if the contents of config_template.xml is changed for a new version
(aka has xml elements that are new),
I can prompt the user, to tell the admin, to remove config_template.xml and install
and configure a new version.


Kind regards,

You are welcome.

The technique I currently us to deal with a RPM zimlet package is to
make a zip file and put into the package.
Once RPM package is installed, that zip file is simply copied to the
folder /opt/zimbra/zimlets-extra then let "zmzimletctl deploy" do the
rest (in %post installation)

Therefore, I have no idea how to deal with your issue now.
Anything we can do with "zmzimletctl deploy"? Or any other ideas?

How can you use a Yum repo on Ubuntu?
Or you will convert RPM to DEB by alien, won't you?
