Thank you Barry for the explanation. Do you have any idea if any of
those are right :
- Minor updates won't ever come from repos. Only patches will from repo
"zimbra-888-patch". So downloading tarballs will always be required for
minor updates.
- Minor updates will come from repo "zimbra" and patches from repo
"zimbra-888-patch". So downloading tarballs will only be required on
initial ZCS installation.
By the way, there's another "zimbra-v1" with no packages on it. This
also is a mystery to me.
