Packaging Zimbra Desktop into an RPM

[ajamison]

I have a small repository that is based on Fedora and I would like to make an RPM out of the Linux install script so that i can include this into the repository I have 2 questions

1) is it legal for me to include said rpm into a repository that is publicaly avalible?

2) Are there any special things I need to be aware of when compiling the rpm?

you are allowed to repackage. for more information on license issues please see Zimbra - Zimbra Public End-User License Agreement, Version 2.1

can you post the spec when you have created it?

If i get a working copy of the rpm then yes i will post the spec but I have to tweak it a bit to get a good rpm output

will you build it from source or "just" package the binary blobs?

Source that is the best way to compile a binary package as repackaging a binary into a different form can be a headache
