[Users] Proposal packaging Zimlets/Extensions via OS repos using RPM/DEB

[Guy CARRÉ]

 I supposed zimbra.org is owned by Synacor ?
Which make me think that a subdomain of zetalliance.org is more approriate for independancy.

  Regards,

+1 

But I will suggest to use packages.zimbra.org even if that sub-domain points to a server that Cine manages

+ 1 for the debian packages. (Deb >>> rpm :-p ) 
Do you plan to set up source packages too ? 

Can we have more explanation about "Zimlet 2.0" ? 

Thank you.

Subject: Proposal packaging Zimlets/Extensions via OS repos using RPM/DEB 

Dear founders, 

I would like to propose to start using RPM's and DEB's for the deployment and 
install of Zimlets/Extensions. 

The use of DEB/RPM allows us to install Zimlets, Admin Zimlets, Extensions and 
configuration (by way of post install scripts). 

Please note that it will still be possible to install any Zimlet the `old` way, 
doing it with repo's (kind of like with epel on Centos) will allow Sysadmins 
to have a trusted source for Zimlets that potentially can be automatically 
upgraded. 

Another benefit of this that Zimbra has already a lot of stuff in place to 
build RPM/DEBs and that Ubuntu and RedHat already have all the stuff we 
need built in, saving us a lot of time. 


Proposal is to create a repository for Zimbra-Community that holds all our work 
and that of others. 

1st step, Quanah to deliver an example repo that shows how to package a Zimlet 
2nd step, Tuan to package some zimlets, for example pgp-zimlet 
3rd step, Quanah point out how to push code to the build process 
4th step, Cine delivers an https webserver for the repo and a nice url, packages.zetalliance.org 
5th step, Quanah or a script copies the RPM/DEB files to the repo 
6th step, create a wiki on how to add the repo. 

Founders, I would like your +1/-1's on this. Then I will see what parts of the Zimlet 2.0 need 
to be targeted somewhere else. 


Regards Barry
