Download

The main distribution form of Kolab Server are source-RPM packages for the OpenPKG system. This way, Kolab Server can more easily installed an various operating systems without the need of preparing specific packages with all the numerous small differences.

Packages

You will find 4 main sections beneath the directory "server" on our download servers:

• stable: Stable releases of Kolab Server.
• beta: Almost feature-complete and mostly working versions as well as all release candidates.
• development: snapshots of ongoing developments.
• security updates

There you will always find a file "release-notes.txt" which will inform you on the changes relative to the predecessor release.

Next there always will be a directory "sources". It contains all source-RPM packages as needed for the OpenPKG environment. Also you will always find a "1st.README" which contains quick install instructions and hints on upgrades.

For some operating systems you might find additional directories containing pre-compiled packages (e.g. "server/beta/kolab-server-2.0-beta-1/ix86-debian3.0"). Using them usually considerably reduces installation time.
