ZCS 6.0.1 ported to FreeBSD7

[solko]

okay, i added that to 602/603 patch. now i will start the build process.. dunno when new packages will be uploaded, though. the baby was finally born so.. celebrating! :P

for existing installation, just alter libexec/zmslapd (see above).

Rebuilding now seems to be much better.

I've just completed the installation of GNR603 on FreeBSD 8-Stable amd64

Many, many thanks, Solko!

I deviated from your build instructions only in using openjdk6 instead of diablo for the java-1.6 requirement. For this, i modified

/home/public/p4/GNR-603/ZimbraBuild/buildZCS.sh

on line 144 with my package name

It works like a charm!

Thanks again!

If there is anything i can do to help the port, please let me know.

Best regards,
Roberto

I am happy that it works. If you wish to help, please, use zimbra+FreeBSD. The more people using it, the better support it will get :-).

[rdeiriar]

Fear not, we will. Thanks again!

[solko]

bah, i have no idea how that could have worked for you flawlessly. sudo wasn't using proper enviroment when bash was invoked so some commands were not found since 603 does not use full pathnames everywhere. i fixed that in patch. for existing installations, alter every:
"sudo -u zimbra -i -- -c" in bin/* and libexec/* to "sudo -u zimbra -i -- -lc".

i need to recompile packages somewhere. i promise i will create some "USE ZIMBRA ON FREEBSD" site somewhere in the new year :-).

[rdeiriar]

Hmmm, strange. I have applied the fix and it seems not to hurt anything. It must be said that we are not using the whole functionality of Zimbra at this point, so there might have been some problems that i never noticed.

BTW, if i can help in any way with the website (such as providing a mirror for content or files, and/or a spanish translation), please let me know.

Best regards,
Roberto

It seems that an additional file needs the "sudo -u zimbra -i -- -lc" change:

/etc/periodic/daily/600.zimbra

nope, we have 600.zimbra.FreeBSD script which is used instead .

GNR-604 patch is up. Sorry it took so long (I kinda started with main/GNR-605 but downgraded to GNR-604 instead). Zimbra finally decided that stating versions in every TP/Makefile is not a very bright idea so I tried to re-integrate the patch to look "cool", hehe. The TP/Makefile mess still requires a lot of polish which I gladly deliver if anyone from Zimbra is ever interested.

Things like:
OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=/opt/zimbra/openssl-${OPENSSL_VERSION}/lib
could be really really really made easier by a global:
OPENSSL_DIR=$(ZIMBRA_HOME)/openssl-${OPENSSL_VERSION}
OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=$(OPENSSL_DIR)/lib
while every TP/*/Makefile should inherit variables like "MAKE" from master and *honor* their value.

Bla bla bla, rants go on (check the patch itself).

FreeBSD_8_amd64 packages are not yet there as I forgot to symlink altermime in /opt/zimbra. Doesn't change anything, it's just polish.
Re-compiling now.

When I get time I will try to create zmmsgtrace replacement. Any ideas/wishes?
