[Pkg-giraffe-discuss] zarafa-webaccess, rework of the packaging for Debian

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hello there,

after a lot of fixing up small pieces and much more rebasing the whole
stuff here I'm now in a state there Lintian is just complaining about
one error. I point this out later in the email.

I have created a helper script that will create a *.orig.tar.xz from the
upstream source. Therefore I added a debian/watch file to also getting a
possible new upstream file downloaded. I started up from scratch whith
such a created new *.orig.tar.xz.

I was also able to fix the shipped JS files within zarafa-webapp-xmpp,
the Lintian warning about a shipped tinymce JS file isn't solvable I
think. Zarafa is using tinymce > 4, Debian is just shipping version
3.4.8 so we have to live with situation here.

We have now the following Lintian output:

There are some overrides I have set. Please note the
debian/*.*overrides. The current state is pushed to the Github repository.

As seen there is one error left we have to solve. The issue is still the
same some days before, we have one file left that is using the PHP-2.02
license. From the copyright file ...

This is in relation to the email I've written yesterday.

This issue has still to go away, we have to get rid of this PHP license.

As Jelle mentioned yesterday on IRC he is also working on the symlinking
for the package zarafa-webapp-shellgame that will probably solve other
Lintian warnings too so I haven't investigate here much more in deep.
This is currently also no stopper for now if we want to go into the
Debian archives.

Jelle has answered this question also yesterday, with his additions the
other Lintian warning about extended-description-is-probably-too-short
will be also go away.

Next step would be to get the ZCP suite and the zarafa-webapp packages
installed to test out if the is still something broken. As I have no
experience with the ZCP and the zarafa-webapp functionality I think we
need the help from Zarafa here.

I have tested the ZCP build only for short time but I was unable to
build the packages, so right now I'm unable to even test the ZCP
packages now.
