I'm afraid we don't have a public repo at the moment. there should be a source tarball in the normal place once 7.2 (beta1) is released though. we are currently using a private SVN server, but are hoping to move towards GIT at some point, with all the AGPL3 code hopefully on a public server. this may take some time though..
I think the intention is to not share our own package files, but of course we are happy to try and help if you run into any problems or if something needs to be changed on our side.

actually we just removed --with-system-gsoap and our bundled gsoap entirely, so always build against the system version. the desired gsoap prefix can now be set with --with-gsoap-prefix. so if testing does not show any problems, this is how it currently looks like it would work.

I would say a 'zarafa-webapp' package within the current project would be fine..?
cheers,
