>we plan to upgrade our servers to SuSE 11.1

you won't be disappointed,  I've been very impressed with 11.1.  Their releases just keep
getting better.

>that there are problems to compile on 11.0/11.1.

If you grab the source RPMs off of OBS they may very well build locally.  And it runs fine on
11.1 as that is my workstation/testing distro of choice (by a large margin).

> a) What are the problems?

11.0/11.1 have increasingly stringent standards (which is a good thing
overall) but make crafting compliant RPMs more and more difficult.  This
vs. CentOS where you can throw poop in a bucket and call it a package. :)  
I can add you the OBS project (do you have an accout) and walk you through
setting up the build (it is easy).

Thats right: everythink works fine with two little patches
in sope.spec and OGo.spec:
  the name of the package openldap-devel is there openldap2-devel
  and the gdl1-mysql package description and files section were
missing. I attach the patches.

Should we put the rpms somewhere for other people?

A little remaining problem is the imap connection:
Our (Suse-11) -cyrus-imap-server no longer supports
plain login. The answer from server is:
   "Login only available under a layer"
this means TLS is needed to log in with user/pw or
GSSAPI for kerberos is needed. Is there any support
for such things in sope?

thanks

SOPE itself supports IMAPS, but this is not exposed in the web  
frontend (I think).

IMAPS or IMAP/TLS? Or both?

I dimly recall some patch for this floating around in bugzilla.  But I'm on vacation right
now....

IMAP over SSL.

Well, the usual workaround is to use stunnel.

I removed the MySQL packages.  I've never met a SOPE app that uses MySQL
(and I'm not a MySQL fanboy - the only peaople who would use that &@*$#:!)
plus it removed the requirement for mysql & associated devel packages.

Are you useing the SPECs from OBS or from the Plone?  In the OBS SPECs
there should be conditionals for dependent package names across the
different distros - which may very well need patching for 11.x.

I'll take a look at the patches when I get back to the office.

>Should we put the rpms somewhere for other people?

Yes.  Preferably we's get them building on OBS ad then "they" mirror them
for us.  Otherwise I'd just try putting them on the Plone.

SOGo can use MySQL.
