If you want to apply local patches against the horde codebase and
maintain updates/bugfixes, then you will probably need to maintain
your own git repository (which merges custom patches) or distribution
specific custom rpm/debs.

There are public RPMs for horde4 on obs though I will not
maintain/update them once I have packages for horde5.
