SME8.0 Contribs QA

Version 8.0 Contrib testing

This document lists Contribs that have had been tested running under SME 8

Executive Summary

Contribs should work if they are perl or php based. Some binary application will work as well.

Test guidelines

Considerations_before_installing advises that Contribs for SME 8 have not yet been released, this is to avoid dev workload diagnosing bugs caused by contribs.

Please don't post sme 8 bugs unless you can replicate the bug with the contrib removed or isolated.

	Note:
	If you have suggestions, issues or solutions for a contrib, please post them in bugzilla against the contrib.

Setup

Point yum at the SME 7 Contrib repository, the only thing to change is the final number

db  yum_repositories setprop smecontribs MirrorList http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/mirrorlist/smecontribs-7
signal-event yum-modify

This forum post http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=46631.new;topicseen suggests to also run this command

yum clean all

Alternatively do not alter the original SME8 repo list, but instead create a repo named smecontribs7, which points at the SME7 smecontribs repo

db yum_repositories set smecontribs7 repository \
GPGCheck yes \
MirrorList http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/mirrorlist/smecontribs-7 \
Name 'SME Server7 - contribs' \
Visible no \
status disabled

signal-event yum-modify
yum clean all

Workarounds

Contribs that sort of work, but need improvement

smeserver-vmware

The contrib introduces a dependency that cannot be resolved. This dependency is not necessary for sme8. Download vmware-server 2.02 and obtain a license key (you need this during installation in vmware-config.pl).

yum install xinetd
yum localinstall <path-to--rpm-file>/VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.rpm

configure vmware:

vmware-config.pl

and set vmware to autostart and reboot:

ln -s ../init.d/vmware /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Watch the console for a correct start of vmware services. Features like maintenance from external networks, vmware configuration db commands described in the contrib vmware do not work. Use

/etc/init.d/vmware start|stop|restart 

to manage the vmware services. If you do not want vmware server to autostart, remove the symbolic link .

The vmware server version 2.02 has a bug with a module in the glibc-2.5-42 library. You can find solutions all over the place, they all try to downgrade glibc to version 2.5-34 (Centos 5.3 version). This won't work, it will brake your server. This post describes an elegant way to patch the faulty module for vmware-server. The glibc-2.5-34 file you need can be found inside the SME8b4 iso file.

No warranties, Happy VM-ing!

smeserver-zarafa

Zarafa - Because of PHP 5.2.10 in SME8b5 WIP there is a problem with the mapi.so module, see bugzilla:5789:

Tested with:

Sogo - install as per wiki, works as expected

Workarounds

Contribs that sort of work, but need improvement

Nagios

Nagios This contrib does not install successfully in sme8

Tried with clean sme8 installation + upgrade

The problem is missing of one dependency libttf.so.2 is provided on my SME 7.4 system by freetype-2.1.9-10.el4.7 'freetype' is excluded in the dag repository definition, to avoid conflicts with the version included in the smeos repository. The SME 8.x repository does *not* have the freetype rpm

There is an outstanding bugzilla entry bugzilla:5539, which now includes some instructions which seem to make it work.
