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

[Jorge Salamero Sanz]

Hi Micah,

Zentyal is Ubuntu specific, we not only we develop for Ubuntu, but we
depend on specific Ubuntu components like upstart, the versions of the
packages in the Ubuntu archive, etc.

Eventually Zentyal could be ported to different distros but this would
be a new feature that will require changes not only in the packaging but
also in the source code; because of that we still think (as upstream)
that we are Ubuntu specific.

James,

about these ebox- prefixed upstart jobs, are for Zentyal own daemons,
like the log parser or the AD synchronization, or for services we like
to start using upstart.

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.
