SOGo repositories soon to be only for paid support customers

[Stefano_Zamboni]

WP market share is about 2% and it seems that M$ will abandon it in favour of a “customized” M$ android distro… in any case, I can’t se any reason to support WP at all.

Hi Stefano,

Glad to see you here again!

After last opinions, the market share for wp it seems to be less than 1% ( Newsroom, Announcements and Media Contacts | Gartner ).
Even that, I cannot tell to our customers to not use WP, or worse, to change their phones, because the market share is less than 1% and there is no reason to support them, as email service provider.

We are not Microsoft (M$$$$$) and we cannot afford to lose our clients.
We provide to our customers full services for all kinds of equipment they have and we will continue to do so, no matter what solutions we will use (in this case, NS with WebTop, NS with SOGo, NS with Roundcube, Zentyal with SOGo, iRedMail, …).

I’m sure you know the slogan that guide any service provider, especially as there is competition: The customer is always right! (in romanian: Our customer, our master!)

One curious thing for me…the company where i work is changing all the smartphone we use and the solution chosen is made on window phone.

The first idea was to make an application based on android but the american put their veto and decided that wp is the way to go.

Sometime…you have no words to describe your opinion

[Stefano_Zamboni]

well, now we know where are all the WP all around

good luck, my friend

I’m waiting for the day that anything other than an Ubuntu Linux phone is available. Ubuntu is OK but I’d prefer just about anything else.

[Hunv (Kristian Reukauff)]

I also have one.
I also use Android (Company phone, Galaxy S4) but my WP (Lumia 640 with Win10) is running much smoother. In my opinion, WP is the best OS. Too sad that MS did one failure after another. In some countries they had nearly 20% market share. Since the latest “activities” it droped even there down to less than 10%…

Hi to all !

I know I’m late in this discussion, sorry !

I’m disapointed of the decision against SOGo. Syncing of all my Nodes is running perfect, means my PS’s (via Thunderbird), via WEB (via SOGo-WEB-Interface) an my Android Mobilphone. And in future with WebTOP: I see nothing running …

Not realy happy …

Telekomiker !

You are right if we speak about webtop 4, but webtop 5 shall support cardav and caldav. I think we would have less problems then now.
I think Sogo-Support will be a problem in the future. See the first post in this thread:

@macwunder

After many months of discussion and thinking, we made the decision to close down the public package repositories

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

Nightly build are still available, some people said that they can be used even in production. I recall some funny bugs on stable packages that you had to wait with them some weeks, waiting the new stable rpms.

Obviously SOGo has grown enough to give their rules of the game.

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

@stephdl

some people said that they can be used even in production.

We could upload those nightly RPMs to nethforge-testing and if a particolar version is stable enough release to nethforge.

What do you think?

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

@davidep

What do you think?

…also our friends from SME Server would benefit from this hard testing job! /cc @quality_team, @smeserver

[Stefano_Zamboni]

ahem… we already using them
our friend @stephdl already edited wiki pages accordingly… ATM, no error reports

I tested these packages from COPR:

All rpms work very well and you don’t need all the bad stuff from sogo repository.

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

That’s a great news, so we can keep SOGo in NethForge but we need a maintainer for the nethserver-sogo rpms, right?

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

Interesting but not up to date, since the good version is Sogo-3.2. the repository is not updated since 2 months. The solution of @davidep sounds better for me, push rpms to nethforge-testing and choose the good versions each month for example.

@giacomo

All rpms work very well and you don’t need all the bad stuff from sogo repository.

looking to the nightly build it seems that you have now only the sogo rpm and its dependencies Index of /nightly/2/rhel/7/x86_64/RPMS

Can you elaborate a bit more?
Thank you

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

@Stefano_Zamboni

Can you elaborate a bit more?

at the nightly repository, the version is V3.2.0 → http://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/3/rhel/7/x86_64/RPMS/

at the copr repo, the version is V3.1.4 → Packages for jaile/sogo built two months ago.

The copr version is done by a volunteer, nothing official.

[Stefano_Zamboni]

Thank you, now it makes sense

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

@stephdl

The copr version is done by a volunteer, nothing official.

You’re right, but the quality of the rpms and stack seems much much better!
Of course, some one should take care of it

@giacomo

I tested these packages from COPR:

Just a head up, they work fine just fine for me too!

Personally i’d like to have “real” releases instead off Nightly releases, with nightly releases its always arbitrary when to upgrade. I mean every day or once a week or … ? Building it your self is, well …h*ll. Especially sope49, so heads up for Jaile!
