Note: 07/10/2008 - An ebuild seems to exist in the sunrise overlay. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195118

Here what I did to install it in Gentoo:

In /etc/portage/package.use (Or use flags that go to /etc/make.conf):

dev-lang/php bzip2 hash ldap postgres xml xsl zip 

Then emerge prerequesites (looked at equery list -p <package> and chose last)

emerge =postgresql-8.0.8; emerge --config =postgresql-8.0.8 
emerge =php-5.1.6-r6 
emerge =apache-2.0.58-r2 

pwgen wasn't found by the dba/create_database.sh script. (I deleted the database, emerged and ran it again :) )

  • pwgen is only needed to generate a default administrator password, and even then it is supposed to generate one using a different method. You can also ForceAdminPassword.
emerge pwgen 

Downloaded awl_0.13.tar.gz and rscds-0.5.2-2.noarch.rpm (rpm version seemed bigger than tar.gz one)

Then rpm2targz on rscds-rpm

Untarred awl in /usr/share and rscds in /

If you downloaded the (tar.gz version unpack it in /usr/share as well)

Then everything was set and I proceeded as described on the Installation website.

Great thanks for your efforts, I will checkout Mulberry another time, but so far this looks very good! Hopefully this will provide the linux groupware solution I looked for so long.

  • I'm hoping it'll be the calendaring Firefox to many groupware Mozilla Suites.

Small note: The installation guide lets you make a database called "rscds", while the default config file /usr/share/rscds/config/config.php tries to open with the name "caldav". You need to rename one of the two to make it work.
