I was hoping not to have to deploy the servers from scratch.
Please be aware that as we have stated multiple times this NOT a policy of Koozali SME but of the upstream distro.
March 2024.
https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,55145.0.htmlYour argument lies with RedHat, not us. Don't shoot the messenger.
We have gone to great lengths to try and ameliorate the issues by providing scripts such as migratehelper etc.
We are few and there are limits to what we can achieve.
We can achieve more if people actually help rather than just sit back and complain.
I note that the work you've always done has been brutal and is counted in years
I think this is lost in translation somehow.
We have consistently asked for help for YEARS and get ignored all the time.
How do you expect us to do more when we work as volunteers in our own time with families and mouths to feed?
If knowledgeable experienced people like you stepped up and helped it would all be done a lot faster. We'd love to release fast. We have done a huge amount of unseen backend work over the last year to try and ensure that v12 will be released much sooner. But we can't do the impossible.
which means that many users are probably still on 9.3.
There are lots of people on lots of versions for lots of reasons. Some people also use DOS. Windows 3, XP, 7, 8 etc.
I don't understand them, but that is the way of the world. We can't force them to move. We have no way of contacting the users to ask. For many it is because they don't want to/can't upgrade legacy applications but it is hard to tell.
Again, that is not all down to us. Upgrading Koozali SME is A COLLECTIVE responsibility. If it takes time or is late then EVERYONE is to blame. Not just the few who volunteer to help.
I don't have the knowledge to say whether, with all this work you've done, Horde 6, which is in its alpha version, would have been impossible to attempt.
We looked at Horde carefully and as we have stated, it is essentially unmaintained and we do not have the resources to maintain it ourselves.
https://github.com/horde/webmail/7 years since the last commit.
It would be way too complex to upgrade and maintain. PHP is advancing far faster than Horde is able to handle. We haven't got the manpower to rewrite Horde 5.x to run on PHP7+
We really had no choice but to change.
You had a opportunity to make your voice heard some time ago. We can't help it if you weren't bothered back then.
https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,55157.0.htmlFor my part, this is the end of this thread, and thank you very much for your attention.
Let us know if you want to help..... It doesn't fix itself. We still have a mountain of bugs that need verifying.
https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,55312.0.htmlHowever, I assume from your comments that you won't be contributing further. Don't forget - people not contributing is why it takes a long time to build......
I'll close your Rocket account as we are limited on the number of Enterprise licenses we are given and I want to use them for active contributors willing to help us.
If you want to use it to help us then message me soonest.
Thanks.
