[Bug 928501] Re: Precise will ship totally broken ebox packages

[jacalvo]

No need to say I agree with all points exposed by Jorge.

I've published new -1 versions of all the packages with the changes
suggested by Clint (thanks!).

Changes are: added the Breaks fields, the Vcs-Browser modification and
update the Standard-versions after checking the policy compliance.

I've also installed the old broken ebox-* packages (and get scared about
the amount of errors just during the installation) and tried to
"upgrade" to the zentyal-* ones in my PPA and everything went flawlessly
and without noticeable errors.

Please let us know if we can do anything else to speedup this. We are
doing this effort because we want avoid the release of precise with
those broken packages (which I think it would give a bad image of both
Zentyal and Ubuntu).

Title:
  Precise will ship totally broken ebox packages

Status in “ebox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Current ebox-* packages are based on the 2.0 version, which is more
  than one year old and doesn't work on oneiric and later because slapd
  changes.

  New zentyal-* packages are intended to replace existing ebox-* ones in
  Universe (eBox Platform was renamed to Zentyal time ago).

  We wouldn't like to see how Precise is shipped with broken Zentyal
  packages when we have made the effort to prepare new ones, see:
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  server/2012-January/006062.html

  Please, sponsor the upload of the new Zentyal packages available on
  https://launchpad.net/~jacalvo/+archive/zentyal-precise/ and delete
  ebox-* ones.
