Indeed, we now have some latency between tarball and packaged version
releases, mostly because we don't have anymore a RPM maintainer in the
team. Jelmer works on Debian packaging and for RPMs, we now rely on
build by the Evolution MAPI team on the opensuse build farm service:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jjohnny:/evolution-exchange-mapi-provider/

The 0.7 package is not yet ready, but afaik Jony (the maintainer) is
working on this and it should be pushed within a couple of days.

In the meantime, if someone is interested in writing a "make rpm" which
automates the RPM process, I'd really like to hear from you!

Yeah exchange clustered is something we have fixed after libmapi-0.6 got
released. I'm glad it works properly for you!

Indeed, I also got through these problems on a "fresh" Ubuntu dapper
installation. I would need Jelmer to confirm, but latest trunk shouldn't
require anymore to have krb5-devel nor ligssapi4-devel installed
anymore.

If you want don't want to create symlinks on your own, run:

# echo "/usr/local/samba/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf

then run ldconfig.

Yes indeed we know about it ;-)

This "bug" has partially been fixed in 0.7 release. mapiprofile was
creating the profile with french locales. Brad Hards has fixed the
problem in 0.7 PHASER. We now provide English by default + provide
--langcode option to select your own language. This behavior (afaik) is
only effective on SBS2003 + SP and Exchange 2007. If someone is using
another exchange version, please tell us about it.

I'd really be interested in having a look at it! If I can help you
improving some parts in any ways, I'd be glad too.
