      @scottalanmiller your first bump to https://forum.kopano.io/topic/47/kopano-core-install-fails-on-centos-7-due-to-missing-package surely felt like you expected some form of sla for replies.

      That bump was after this point, quite a bit after - an hour and a half after, in fact. That bump was specifically because I was being berated in this thread and the other one asking about OS releases and people were ignoring the CentOS thread which explained those two and made the posts that I was getting here feel rude (like telling me to use something from the support matrix - when the thing from the support matrix had failed.) The bump was my response to what I felt was people being rude and trying to push me to pony up to be in this community (or to run a solid OS).

      Does that help to explain my frustration? I was not the one injecting the feeling of urgency.

        The issue that I have is that there seems to be a lot of urgency to jump on telling me that I’m wrong to want an enterprise OS, that I’m wrong to have tested one thing when another didn’t work, that I’m wrong in posting elsewhere, that I’m being too urgent - in reality, the message from this community feels like they are saying that we were wrong to try to evaluate Kopano for production use, I don’t know how else to take it. Everyone is happy to post that stuff. But nothing helpful posted (until you posted just a bit ago about clarification on the CentOS thread) for several hours. Yet lots of posts telling me that I’m wrong or rude for even asking for such a thing or that I should consider paying someone.

        I was totally polite and professional and without urgency in my initial posts. I’ve already given the product a lot of effort and have a working install. No one asked about that, only wanted to point out where I was wrong for looking at this with an operational mindset (which alone answers the core questions that we were evaluating for. ) I never intended to come off as rude or impatient. Please read my posts, in order, and in context and I think that you will see that I was not being rude nor impatient in any way.

          @scottalanmiller yes, well… opinions are always expressed faster and easier than facts. No offense to either side of this little posting war here, btw.

            I’m very sure that you are the only person who thinks I’m pushing you into buying support. I’m merely telling you that it is available and pointing out that if you want instant answers, you can’t expect that from a community forum.

            I’ve had it confirmed by other people watching this community to see how it responds that they did indeed think that you were telling us that we had to pay to get access to a working repo. They had mentioned it, but I waited to clarify with them before I confirmed that it was not just me. Again, sorry if you didn’t mean to imply paying for anything or urgency or that we had pushed for answers quickly - I think if you are going to mention that in the future you should have a disclaimer to say that you are just saying that as general information and not suggesting it for the use case because it comes across as stating that this community only helps if you pay, that asking a question at all is seen as having urgency and that the working package is only provided in the commercial release.

              I am not sure wha’ts so ambigous about this.

              https://kopano.com/how-to-get-kopano/

              It makes perfect sense to me… It is clear that the builds you get in the community are the nightly builds.

              I very very seldomly (if ever) had issues running those.

                Yes, that’s why I was awaiting a technical response patiently. Only bumping to show the people who kept telling me to spend money (or kept bringing it up at least) where I had tried the recommended, documented path and failed because they kept acting like I had not.

                  Given your attitude I am surprised you get anyone to reply at all.

                    Please go back and read this thread and show me where “this attitude” starts. If it doesn’t start before I was told to pay for support, then you have shown your hand. Go ahead, quote where I was rude before being told I had to pay.

                    I’ll see myself out. This community is unprofessional and has made it clear why there is no one posting here. I came here are your personal request to see what the community was like. Thanks for opening my eyes, I had no idea how bad it would be. There is no need to further the conversation. You’ve made it clear that it is pay to play here. That’s fine, it’s Kopano’s company and they can represent it however they like. We had already evaluated this product and it had failed our evaluation to Zimbra but you were so certain that this community could show how great it is and get things fixed that I conceded to post here… yet it’s nothing but trolls and one overwhelmed vendor rep who didn’t really help anything just attacking anyone that dares ask a question.

                    Unprofessional, unkind and rude. This is not how the community of a viable product behaves. Have a good day, enjoy running Kopano. You’ll not have to worry about our customers using it.

                      There are several products on the market place and everyone is free to choose whichever they like.

                      The community model for zimbra works very differently to Kopano.

                      The Zimbra community edition gives you the same release as the paid for software, but all the advanced features (which personally would be the ones I need) are excluded and there is no way to get them!

                      Kopano gives you the advanced features but you get the nightly builds as opposed to the official release software.

                      Which one is better? It depends on the uses. I need the advanced features, therefore I choose Kopano (and in addition I prefer it anyway).

                      But in the same way as I do not think Zimbra is rubbish or their community doesn’t work or the product is bad or whatever, in the same way going around saying that people are unprofessional, unkind or anything else without even trying to be positive one isn’t going to give you much help either.

                      If you did spend the time to work with the Kopano community for a little bit, you will actually perhaps find the opposite.

                      Therefore by all means you should get the product you think is best and so will do the rest of the people in this world.

                      That’s indeed why there are many products on the market and they share the marketplace as one product doesn’t fit for all.

                        I’ll close up here, as I don’t think something productive will still come out of it. I did a last reply at https://forum.kopano.io/topic/47/kopano-core-install-fails-on-centos-7-due-to-missing-package/8
