Hello all lists,

 I know posting to several lists is usualy not good. I hope you will
 understand the reasons.

 This mail is about coordination.

 Horde [1] and Kolab [2] are currently RC, and will not have major
 changes before their releases. The new version of kolab, 2.2, requires
 horde 3.2, for freebusy and filter. Debian will also start a
 soft-freeze early march [3]. This means that debian packaging teams
 shouldn't ship packages except ''if you are sure that the software
 will be stable before we release''. The upcoming debian version,
 lenny, will be frozen in the middle of july.


 I have proposed packages for RC to pkg-horde [4] and pkg-kolab [5] (I
 am in this team now). Of course, they are blocked and waiting for
 final releases.
 I have talked to yunosh and wrobel on IRC (#horde and #kolab). Yunosh
 suggested that I start coordinating efforts.

 Upstream teams and packaging teams prefer to have recent enough
 versions in debian. But these versions should be stable. So we have to
 decide : Do we start packaging rc so that they go into lenny or do we
 abandon these versions, which will be in lenny+1 (far away).

 I'm waiting for feedback.

 Thanks

 Mathieu Parent
