[Pkg-giraffe-discuss] zarafa-7.2.1 RC1 released

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hello Mark,

some days since your mail .. after a lot of adoptions,changes and build
cases to the current debian/sid branch we are now able to build a
current package set of Zarafa packages.

Agreed.

Yes, of course. ^^
Currently I've just build the packages, we haven't done any testing yet.
That will be next step. As written there is the libstdc++ transition
related to GCC5 currently WIP in Debian unstable, so we have to take a
unstable chroot to do further tests. Maybe we see something later there,
but I don't think so.

I pushed my work of the last days like before to

  https://github.com/tijuca/Giraffe

Remind that there will be some rebasing go on this repo until we have
find a proper setup.

The output of lintian looks quite nice, only a few warnings are left
now, Thanks for take care about the rebuilded new libraries with valid
so-names. There are a few Lintian informative and experimental warnings
but that's solvable in the next days. But first we would like to see a
life test working.
