> 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?

PEAR installations don't support merging, so either keep running a Git  
checkout with your own patches applied, or try to get your patches  
integrated upstream.

Jan.
