great to hear, and thanks to all involved. sorry it took a while to get my feet back on the ground after my vacation. I hope to start contributing again from now on, and will post a general update shortly. 

about the following lintian errors:
 
> >  W: zarafa-dagent: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/zarafa-mr-accept    

this is not really a binary that a user would start manually. it can be configured in dagent.cfg to deal with meeting requests. would it be a problem to leave this as-is for now..?

> >  W: zarafa-server: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man5/zarafa-ldap.cfg.5.gz 964: warning [p 11, 5.5i]: can't break line

adding an 'invisible space', ​ into the respective line in doc/manual.xml seems to solve the problem. no more error, copy-pastability.

I updated the search and search cfg manpages for the new search just now and added them to our packages. thanks for spotting this problem!

I personally don't think we will be done with this very soon, so I suggest we just put as many fixes as possible into 7.2.1, which should be released in a few weeks, at least as a beta2..? (we can always provide a tarball earlier).


cheers,
