For the moment its only avilible for CentOS 4.4, as for now I dont have any plan for jumping to CentOS 5. Im currently working on other projects based on 4.4 Of course if CentOS 5 is what the community wants, then I will consider that

Even better for community support would be to package the above programs as rpms if they aren't already available that way and add your configuration script(s). That way any or all of the parts could be installed into existing machines.

Yes, but my intention was more like to make a appliance. Install on a clean system, have it installed on a box, and just put a away in a corner

That works until one of the programs has an update. Then if it hasn't been packaged like the rest of the system you'll have to throw your appliance away and build a new one. If it has been packaged, a simple "yum update" takes care of things whether its in the centos repository or some external one added to the yum configuration.

And if you do happen to want an appliance with exactly this set of programs, you can still get it with "yum install your_list_of_programs" or you can package your configuration script with all the others as dependencies.

You hate security fixes?? I can't think of any other reason anyone would do that.

I didn't think apt-get understood that you might have a mix of x86_64 and i386 packages on the same machine. Yum has the same configuration capabilities, although I think if there is something wrong in the stock openldap package you'd want to replace it with a different package instead of relying on package manager settings to always know about the quirk.

Easy to do it with yum. Do it all the time.

There is allso a script included to make your own apt repository

There is an rpm with everything you need to make your own yum repo.

I guess it is a matter of background and choice...

you can define it in /etc/yum.conf; add an exclude line, such as:

exclude=*firefox*,*thunderbird*,*scribus*,*eclipse*,*zope*,*plone*,*blender*

yum will "start" little slower, but it works

There is allso a script included to make your own apt repository

for yum this is createrepo; simply copy packages to any directory and run

createrepo /this/dir/

then you have to add new repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/, but it should be very similar (except path of course) to others; if you don's use pgp to sign your packages, the line

pgpcheck=0

will help, because for default yum doesn't install packages which it can't verify

My biggest irritation with "appliances" is the lack of security updates. We have several print servers built into work where the Mfg has not released updates to fix apache, samba and windows RPC vulnerabilities because they are "appliances" and don't need to be updated.

I'm sorry, if it's connected to the network and has persistent writable memory like a hard drive I'm a bit worried that it could be used to perform network attacks if it has remote vulnerabilities.

Back in 2003 we had machines on the WAN infected with blaster and these were causing the print servers in house based on "Windows NT Embedded" to crash constantly. When I contacted the support for the copiers their reply was not to supply an update to the machines or send a tech out to update them themselves but to "fix your clients". Which was not very helpful seeing that 100% of the bad traffic was from outside our site because other sites had not patched their systems.

I will never recommend an "appliance" to anybody were it has externally accessible services and no way to patch it. Such things are disasters waiting to happen.

See the following article http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/07/03/27OPenterwin_1.html

I have made a new version available

It fixes som minor "bugs" The installer dont display so much to screen during installation.

When you start installing it, you can choose if you want to install Open-Xchange 0.8.6-5 or 0.8.7

Its available on http://www.nnortux.no

Enjoy

Hi

For the moment its only avilible for CentOS 4.4, as for now I dont have any plan for jumping to CentOS 5. Im currently working on other projects based on 4.4 Of course if CentOS 5 is what the community wants, then I will consider that

Tronn

Thanks for the work on this and yes, I'd like to see it for CentOS 5!
