Well, it took a shot at this and spent some hours trying to get this working.
There are a bunch of additional dependencies that
need backporting, but not *all* that many.
Thanks to Jelmer Vernooij for assistance with the ldb package.
I am having an issue with installing the samba4 package, something with library
paths... With a little more work I think it is
do-able, for Squeeze at least, I doubt that Lenny is a viable target and it
being old-stable is probably not worth the effort.
After installing most of this I was able to build both SOPE and SOGo src's as
in the doc "SOGo Native Microsoft Outlook
Configuration", but using the dpkg-buildpackage. The SOGo package comes out
labled sogo_1.3.5 as the control file is not
updated, but it runs as 2.0:
version 2.0.0 (build r...@trash.lan.gms.lu 201110121218) -- starting
I was unable to build the OpenChange connector however:
root@trash:/home/chris/sogo/SOGo/OpenChange# make
This is gnustep-make 2.4.0. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
Auto-generating MAPIStorePropertySelectors.[hm]...
Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't know what is wrong here and I am out of time to mess with this for now.
The Debian Packages
-------------------
I took these packages from the Wheezy or Sid trees on
http://packages.debian.org:
talloc_2.0.7-3.dsc
tevent_0.9.14-1.dsc
heimdal_1.5.dfsg.1-3.dsc
tdb_1.2.9-4.dsc
ldb_1.1.2~git20110807-2.dsc
samba4_4.0.0~alpha17-3.dsc
openchange_0.11-2.dsc
Using 'dget' from devscripts on the .dsc URL it will pull all the sources.
Add 'squeeze-backports' to your '/etc/apt/sources.list' file:
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
Then update and install debhelper from squeeze-backports:
aptitude -t squeeze-backports install debhelper
Other basic build components:
aptitude install build-essential devscripts swig
There are a lot of other build dependencies for the other packages, get a list
of these with 'dpkg-checkbuilddeps' for each
package and install.
There are some things that need fixing in the Debian packages as there is a
move to Multiarch for Wheezy and onwards:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch
The 'quick fix' that allowed me to get the packages to build are, in the
unpacked source-tree:
sed -i -e's#/\*/#/#' debian/*.install
sed -i -e 's#/\$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)##g' debian/rules
The first 'sed' does an inplace replacement of the "/*/" in the install files.
These directories don't exist on non-multiarch
systems.
The second 'sed' does something similar, removing substitutions, for the
'rules' file.
Check for build dependencies:
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
Install any missing dependencies. Check that these are not one of the others in
my list above. If so, build that package first.
Build the package(s):
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
This says we only want a binary (no source) package and that not to sign the
'.changes' file.
Doing this, I was able to end up with a non-erroring build of all the above
packages!
I didn't, but it may be worth seting up reprepro, or the like, and placing all
your packages in there. The benefits are not
messing with lots of dependency problems with 'dpkg -i'. I had over 100 .deb
files when finished.
I believe that there are still some issues with the backports. I am, however, a
only a SysAdmin and not much of a developer. I
hope that this will help kick-start some further work in this direction. I may
be able to help a little and if I find more time
see if I can resolve the issues that I am having. This is all not so my area of
ken.
Regards
Chris
