Nightly builds

alexthetiger68

Yes, it’s a pity. I’ve been using Kopano since the Zarafa times, but no updates whatsoever are a no-go in terms of security.

I have been toying with https://grommunio.com/ lately, as it got the same webinterface as Kopano. So far I’m quite happy with it, as I have my ldap, nextcloud integration, etc. working again and it overall seems like a smooth experience. Especially since I use the appliance community edition, updates are simply a ‘zypper up’ away.

The last step that’s blocking me from finally migrating is my smtpd configuration. Currently I have an exim configuration that handles different smtp relays per user and that needs to be transfered to postfix.

@alexthetiger68

yup. the only thing i dislike is that gramm only allows 5 users for free. Am i correct?

@ckruijntjens that’s indeed my understanding… pretty useless.

@mcostan

It would be nice if kopano have some sort of news of the future…
I really like kopano and i am using it a couple of years now. However when updates are stopping and no one can give some clarification maybe its time to look @ other options instead of kopano.

I really want to thank everyone that developed kopano the last few years and where active on the forum to troubleshoot problems.

Is this project completely dead???

Afaik there is no official statement about this from UCS or Kopano. Hope we get an answer soon.

waiting for nightly builds to come up soon…

I worte to kopano support and asked for new nightly builds.

The support answerd within hours and i got an information that there was an certificate error and nightly builds will be availabe again soon.

I think there would need to be development first before one would get a nightly build.

Last commit to the Kopano Core repository was November 17, 2021

@tiredofit i see a later one.

8.7.25 (2022-02-01)

@tiredofit
got a new answer from kopano
they stopped developing on community version because to many users switch vom payed version to community version.
so commuinty version will be dead soon

This decision will not bring back one person to the paid version. So goodbye Kopano, RIP.

@klipp
Thanks for update. It is disappointing news for sure, I would like to hear from Kopano in this forum. Ever since the Grommunio incident in early 2021 there has been lots of confusion and uncertainty. I have my thoughts on what’s really going on but they are just thoughts and I’d just add to the rumor mill if I shared them.

So I will join the sentiment that this project is dead and I would be surprised if it is revived. What a way to go out.

These are bad news, irgendwas ist halt immer.

Is there any official announcement about this?
Or is this the new kind of transperency they promised ?

@ichi123
ab Minute 1:38 oder so ähnlich mal reinhören.

Aber meiner Meinung nach wurde schon lange nicht mehr ehrlich Seitens Kopano kommuniziert.
Und hier Thomas von bytmine truxt auch nur rum. Keine klaren Aussagen!
Das betrifft nicht nur die Community sondern auch die Verkaufsversionen, wo man gerade mit Ach und Krach auf die schon längst aktuelle Debian Versionen aktualisiert hat.

I wrote to kopano commercial support and they answerd to me

and? Please share the Information, thanks

@sinux
as mentioned above
they stopped developing the community version because too many users switch from payed subscriptions to nightly builds.

many of these users tired to get support without a subscription in community forum from kopano employees and so kopano stopped community support for all

the last sentence of this mail
it has not been decided when and if there will be new releases for community and up to date nightly builds

Sinux

@klipp thanks klipp well then Kopano has to pay its software testers and quality management again
