Hello,

I finally did some repackaging of Kontact Touch last week. Most importantly 
the community repository of the meego build server is no longer needed so 
there are no more conflicts when installing the packages on the device.

The documentation at: http://userbase.kde.org/Kontact_Touch/Harmattan
was updated accordingly.

It was also reported to me that the N9 does not handle a full /home directory 
gracefully. I added a note in the userbase article under additional notes how 
to move the akonadi db to your MyDocs directory.

Quick summary:

If you did not have kontact touch installed before you can ignore steps 1 and 
2.

1. If you already had old packages installed first bring your device back into 
an "unhacked" state e.g. reinstall the mp-harmattan package, let it uninstall 
conflicting stuff etc.,

2. Remove the rzr repository from your apt sources
(for example if you had it in community.list as described in the wiki you can 
overwrite this file by executing:
echo "deb http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ harmattan/sdk free non-free
deb https://files.kolab.org/local/maemo/dists/harmattan ./" 
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/community.list

3. apt-get update (To get the new package information)

4. apt-get install -o DPkg::Options::=--force-overwrite kdepim-mobile

(For details why the force overwrite is necessary see: 
http://userbase.kde.org/Kontact_Touch/Harmattan#Known_problems_.28Version_20120124.29 )

5. Enjoy :)

If you have any questions especially trouble with step 1 feel free to contact 
me per mail or in irc (nick aheinecke on freenode)

Regards
Andre

P.S.
You can also now add a deb-src entry for files.kolab.org and rebuild use the 
nice debian tools like apt-get source apt-get builddep etc. to quickly 
rebuild packages that you want modified. If you want to contribute to the 
packages from files kolab org please contact me.
