The missing items from the source install are in CVS - we also include a source tarball with each release (which I think is what you have). So, while the next release tarball should have the missing items, if you want them today - you should go to CVS.

As for the "install prereqs with version >= x, install zimbra" source installation doc - zimbra isn't currently set up for abstracted locations of postfix, ldap, etc - our system is tightly integrated with them, and expects to find them in specific places. This is why the cvs install doc says "get version X, put it here, and run our makefile".

The decision not to provide the source for the 3rdparty packages was deliberate - partly to save ourselves space/bandwidth. It's true, you can't wget the jdk - Sun doesn't want you to - so you have to download it via a browser.

We are an open source software company - with an emphasis on an integrated solution that is easy to install and configure. We don't want our users to be forced to do the dependency chase for all of our 3rdparty pieces, we want you to be able to install the system and get it running quickly and easily. To be honest, we know that's not the typical open source way, but we don't see it as a liability, we see it as a strength.
