This integration would be there in addition to OpenPKG support. The other distribution vendors (e.g. FreeBSD or Sun) could also integrate the Kolab Server as many of them already do with KDE. For the customers this is the best solution, if they just get an integrated Server with one vendor to talk to (and pay). > > Okay, if we can work with mirroring without mandatory registration > > and you (and whole OpenPKG) considers this fair, it takes a burden off > > me! > > Yes, we're fine with it as long as you do not establish a full OpenPKG > mirror, i.e. ALL files of a OpenPKG RELEASE.

We have three sets of packages you will need for a Kolab Server installation: * Kolab Project native packages * Modified OpenPKG packages (We would love to get our modifications upstream or/and into OpenPKG.) * OpenPKG original packages. So people can get use many OpenPKG regular packages directly.
