Unfortunately Kolab is distributed using Openpkg the reason I have put off installing the server. I do not want to use two different package management systems on my computer especially if one of them is a rpm based system. I have never liked using rpms even when I was running Red Hat. I have decided to start the porting Kolab server to Freebsd I am hoping to incorporate it into the ports collection and abandon the openpkg stuff. There are people running and developing Kolab on Freebsd system so I know there are not any system level compatibility problems. I have started the porting process by cross referencing the openpkg names to the FreeBSD ports. As of now I only see two packages that require a patch specific to Kolab, cyrus-imap and apache. Kolab use five application that are not in the FreeBSD ports collection, fsl (a wrapper for ossp-l2), kolabd, kolab-webadmin, kolab-resource-handlers, and perl-kolab. These list are in a preliminary state, I have not cross referenced all the Perl packages yet nor have I confermined all the ports name match the openpkg names. Has anyone else thought of performing this port? Is there a discusion in the FreeBSD community on openpkg and how it may or may not be incorporated into the system? Aaron
