Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
I would also like to thank manens for providing these builds and being part of the community although I'm disappointed there's no build for CentOS8. mobdro

Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
Hi everyone,
not sure whether to post into this thread or it's a non-FOSS issue. So bear with me...
I am running Release 9.0.0.ZEXTRAS.202007114.UBUNTU18.64 UBUNTU18_64 FOSS edition, Patch 9.0.0_P14 am concerned it does not find any more recent updates through repo.zimbra.com, saying e.g.
Of course I did issue apt update before, and Ubuntu updates are running fine that way.
Is that normal, or did I miss a bit or mess up something ?
E: Just found another thread discussing this - sorry, just ignore or delete my post.

zimbra-patch is already the newest version (9.0.0.1618926120.p14-1.u18).

Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
ZImbra 9 OSE is no more maintained.
Starting from p15, zimbra-*-patch packages have been moved away from the OSE repository. Furthermore, the new patch introduces some NE dependencies, making it incompatible with the current OSE installation, hence preventing OSE users to perform the update.
I guess Zimbra will no more support OSE, go for Kopano is a better bet.

The script automates all the manual steps you would have to complete using the zm-build github. So it makes things really easy. So the steps would be:
I have just finisch to build tgz for Rocky, and what I did was:

Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
Yes, better is:
since this will override what it would find in /etc/redhat-release or via lsb_release. Only problems come later when you attempt to install it. It will not install the packages it requires from Zimbra Repository and the zm-build process doesn't build these packages. Even if attempting to install without using the Zimbra repositories (as this is an option to choose y/n), it still didn't work. I haven't found a way around this, and would probably need a lot more dev work to get Rocky to work. But also, if we cannot install the supposed dependencies that come from the Zimbra Repository, without the repository, then it will make it much harder for supporting distros that aren't offered by default for Zimbra OSE. I find it strange that the option to use or not use the Zimbra Repository exists, since you have to use it anyway. At least with what I built for 9.x anyhow.
So I've mostly given up on this really, these repo dependencies shouldn't exist. They should be freely available to use standalone or to build separately with the zm-build process so that you are not forced to rely on the Zimbra repository.
Code: Select all
./build.pl --build-os=RHEL8_64 --build-arch=x86_64 --pkg-os-tag=r8

I was able to build answering y to use zimbra repo and now it's running
I dunno why I was able to get it installed but you don't.
Where it breaks?

Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
Probably as you edited redhat-release. I tried building without changing such files and then packages from zimbra repo dont install because of it being Rocky instead of RedHat. Even when providing platform-override as an option.
Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
I confirm, there is no way to build without changing redhat-release contentianw1974 wrote:Probably as you edited redhat-release.

and w/out chenging much stuff than only one file, that is to lie, sadly
Re: Zimbra 9 - FOSS
Hi everyone, confused a little by what I am reading here on the last page. It sounds like Zimbra open source is no longer?
I have a mailserver running zimbra 8 open source on Centos 6 that I need to do something with. I would like to move to Ubuntu because of Centos's demise, but Zimbra won't run on the latest supported version of Ubuntu now.
What would you recommend for me? thx
