Description of problem: Unpatched cyrus imap server cannot be used as a kolab2 client, since it doesn't support the required annotations (/vendor/kolab/...) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All cyrus-imapd versions How reproducible: Just try to use e.g. Toltec Connector, it will say annotations not supported. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I attached a patch which works with all current kolab clients, and absolutely safe, non-intrusive. That would be nice if it can be added till FC6 release!
Created attachment 136936 [details] Some custom annotations which are neccessary for kolab2 clients.
Any chances that this patch will be included?
Did you try to put it upstream? Would they accept it?
I posted it to: http://www.intevation.de/pipermail/kolab-devel/2006-September/005957.html and also filed a bug report in cyrus bugzilla, which I cannot reach currently... This patch is a bit kolab-specific, so maybe it'll not accepted upstream, but it would be good to have in Fedora (as I see there are more complex patches in the Fedora version, this one is very simple and non-intrusive).
What is the bz number in cyrus bz? I'd like to Cc it. I'm not sure whether I like the idea of having such vendor-specific patch in the package. I'd rather help with reviewing and testing Thomas' patch ( http://vman.de/cyrus/ ) since that seems to be better and more general solution. Btw, accoring to the ietf drafts, the vendors must be registered and x-toltec is not, according to http://www.iana.org/assignments/acap-registrations .
I like Thomas' patch, I also thinked that going to implementing the same idea...I'll try testing. According to the x-toltec annotation, the author of Toltec Connector said that he will change this after something for this problem goes upstream.
Here's the bugreport for cyrus (my comment is #8): https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2458 But this is the same as mentioned in http://vman.de/cyrus/

Kolab server has choosen Thomas Viehmann's patch, so I'm wondering if the Fedora version can include it.
But we need that CMU will choose the patch. So try to ping them in their bugzilla.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
