Am I doing something wrong?

[mark_nl (Mark Verlinde)]

maybe this ?

[pike (Michael Kicks)]

So DevTeam should remove it from packages. With a notice for removal to server admins…
Therefore: WebTop the only webmail? I hope not.

[Andy_Wismer (André Wismer)]

@pike

You can still install Stephdl newer Version from the NethServer Modules.
Also works better with mobile phones…

My 2 cents

[pike (Michael Kicks)]

It’s an idea, but into this install i would rather not mess up with repositories, due to “little issues” with integrated backup and add on repositories

External Repository not restored from configuration restore

Steps to reproduce create a server add external repository (Mr Markuz) install apps you need (packages, modules) create config backup create data backup apply config backup to another freshly installed server restore config backup restore data backup Effects: empty application list (from previously installed modules and packages) no modules installable from Software Center impossible to perform updates modules not restored No user interface error is showed after the restore Optional - Feeli…

@pike

So DevTeam should remove it from packages.

Guess yes, at least from the software-center until the issue is resolved.
BTW: can confirm it is removed from epel-7;

(IMHO) To keep roundcubemail within nethserver it probably needs to be provided by nethserver package repositories; possibilities:

1. provide abandoned epel-7 package: https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/r/roundcubemail-1.1.12-2.el7.noarch.rpm within nethserver repositories
2. provide @stephdl package within nethserver repositories
3. provide remi package https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/roundcubemail-1.4.11-1.el7.remi.noarch.rpm within nethserver repositories

Other suggestions?

[Andy_Wismer (André Wismer)]

@mark_nl

I’d vote for using @stephdl 's package, as it works well and is newer…

My 2 cents
Andy

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

Thank you for reporting, this is indeed a bug.
It’s not the first time EPEL does this kind of prank.

The safest choice is to add the missing packages inside nethserver-updates so the bug is fixed and existing machines will not be updated.

But as pointed out by @mark_nl link, that package contains some CVE.

I back the proposal to replace EPEL package with @stephdl one, but only if the upgrade is smooth and it does not break existing installation.

For now the bug is fixed, this is the package, but I think we continue here the discussion about a possible upgrade.

Let’s see what Steph thinks about it.

[Andy_Wismer (André Wismer)]

@giacomo

I can confirm that I’ve used the Stephdl Roundcube Module on about 25 of my clients (Those using E-Mail) and NO issues on installing / upgrading so far!
And some of those clients have HUGE mailboxes!

my 2 cents
Andy

[pike (Michael Kicks)]

Am i wrong, or Roundcube is “just” an interface for IMAP Dovecot?

[Andy_Wismer (André Wismer)]

@pike

Hi

Roundcube is:

A) An Interface for IMAP (On NethServer,that’s Dovecot).
B) An Interface for mail-sieve, which is respected by SoGo, WebTop and NC…

It started out as a Webmailer, and still is (One of the better ones!).
It can also provide Adressbook Access, eg via Nextcloud or LDAP…

My 2 cents
Andy

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

The build is simple I think, maybe we could improve the spec file, I know it is used by some users, never saw nor listened an issue to upgrade

stephdl/roundcubemail

[pike (Michael Kicks)]

FWIW I can install Roundcube now on the system which needed it. I’ll update the topic in case of problems.

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

We are going to ship @stephdl package in the near future.

[stephdl (Stéphane de Labrusse)]

coming soon, testers are welcome please to test the upgrade

Roundcubemail 1.4.11

note: we do not change the skin, it will stay with larry but either you can override to elastic with

config setprop roundcubemail skin elastic
signal-event nethserver-roundcubemail-update

or any user can choose his skin in the roundcubemail preferences
