Re: RFS: roundcube
Hi!
We use roundcube as our webmail in my office, so we'll be reviewing
it, and I might end up sponsoring it, I haven't yet looked at it, but
I have a couple of comments:

The version is the 0.1-beta2.2 I suggest that you use: 0.1~beta2.2,
this is exactly the kind of version that the ~ character was invented
for.
This is still a beta quality software but I use it happily every
The fact that it is a "beta" release doesn't mean that the quality is
much worse than a lot of non "beta" released software. It lacks
features, and it has some bugs, but it's pretty much a nice piece of
software. Even though it's not ready for a "stable" Debian release, I
think it's pretty much ready to be uploaded to "unstable" (taking into
account that it won't go into testing until Etch is released, and
after that it will be a long time until Lenny is released, which gives
roundcube time enough to stabilize itself)
day. The package uses dbconfig-common to configure database. It
supports sqlite, MySQL and PostgreSQL backend. To avoid to pull too
much packages, it does not depend on any of those backends. Any
comment on this is welcome. I have put a note in README.Debian.
As I said, I haven't looked at the packaging yet, but I think you
should "Recommend" them (separating them with | ). As far as I know,
roundcube is allowed to connect to a remote database, and thus you
wouldn't need the database to be installed in the same server.
