Well, OpenPKG and ZfOS pull off kolab by fetching
http://www.erfrakon.de/projects/kolab/download/kolab-server-1.0/src/
kolab-%{V_major}-%{version}.src.rpm where the spec file declares V_major
1.0 and version 1.0.14
I thought 1.0 is the kolab release and 1.0.14 represents some kolab
version. It seems I was wrong. According to your statement above it is
my understanding that 1.0 is the release of the kolab backend and 1.0.14
is the version of the kolab web administration interface. At least both
parts are included in the SRPM i'm talking about.
Unfortunately, 1.0.8 does not appear anywhere in the filename so I and
probably nobody else can predict what's inside. It also breaks every
automated version tracking. BTW there are "very few" (updated) tarballs
or RPMs available. It seems that kolab users have to use CVS to stay
current!?
So please tell me what should I do to reduce confusion
and I'll be happy to implement it. I already expressed
"kolab should provide a tarball" as can be seen in
http://cvs.openpkg.org/filediff?f=openpkg-src/kolab/kolab.spec&v1=1.5&v2=1.6
