[horde] Horde 4.0-ALPHA1

[LALOT Dominique]

Hello Jan,

That's good news. I've only tested git version and will have to manage with
another install method.
The problem that I see, is that I patched an olderversion for lots of
things:

ldap group driver based on attributes instead of ldap groups.
patch on IMAP to support CAS SSO which is still not supported. Do you
provide information about shibboleth+imap?
disabling many templates for global shares.

Will it be possible to find a way to have our own patches, or should I apply
patches after a pear update?

Thanks for your advice

Dom

> The Horde Application Framework is a flexible, modular, general-purpose web
> application framework written in PHP. It provides an extensive array of
> components that are targeted at the common problems and tasks involved in
> developing modern web applications. It is the basis for a large number of
> production-level web applications, notably the Horde Groupware suites. For

> IMPORTANT! This is a preview version that should not be used on production
> systems. This version is considered feature complete but there are likely
> to be
> bugs. You should not use this preview version with existing production
> data. Migration of data from earlier versions has not been fully tested yet
> and
> is not supported.
>
> We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists or our
> bug
> tracking system. Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
> might still change before the release candidates are prepared.
>
> The installation method for Horde 4 has been changed to use the PEAR
> installer. To prepare your local PEAR installation to install software from
> Horde's PEAR server, run the following commands from the command line:
>
>  pear channel-discover pear.horde.org
>  pear install horde/horde_role-alpha
>  pear run-scripts horde/horde_role
>
> The last command will ask you for the filessystem location for your Horde
> installation. This should be some path in your web server's document root,
> e.g. /var/www/horde. These commands only need to be run once. You are now
> prepared to install, upgrade and uninstall Horde packages. To install the
> alpha
> release of Horde, run the following commands:
>
>  pear install horde/horde-alpha
>
> Just go to the config/ directory of your Horde installation and copy
> conf.php.dist to conf.php:
>
>  cd /var/www/horde/config/
>  cp conf.php.dist conf.php
>
> Then point your browser to the installation location, go to the
> Administration/Configuration screen and start configuring. You probably
> want
> to:
>
> 1. Configure a real authentication backend!
> 2. Configure a database backend (Horde configuration, Database tab)
> 3. Install the database tables ("Update all DB schemas" button)
> 4. Configure any other applications you installed
>
> For more detailed installation and configuration instructions, e.g. how to
> install Horde from PEAR into a location other than the system default,
> please
> see https://github.com/horde/horde/blob/master/horde/docs/INSTALL.
