Han's checklist for Zimbra 5.0 (ZCS) on Ubuntu Dapper from scratch.

• Install OS. (dapper, 64bit, server edition)

• Add universe and metaverse: vim /etc/apt/sources.list

• apt-get upgrade

• Han's packages:

  apt-get install jed jedstate screen rcconf mercurial openssh-server

• Fix timezone: tzconfig

• Zimbra packages:

  apt-get install fetchmail libidn11 libgmp3c2 libpcre3 libexpat1 libstdc++5 libxml2 openssl libltdl3 libperl5.8 perl

• apt-get dist-upgrade

• Make it easier on maintainers:

  apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

• /etc versioning, the easy way (no central servers to worry about):

  cd /etc
  hg init
  hg add *
  hg commit -m 'Initial'

• Install zimbra. cd zcs*; sudo ./install.sh

• Config: just pick and enter the admin password

• Zimbra installed. Test.

• Migration requires imapsync. either sudo apt-get install imapsync, or better still grab a copy of imapsync-1.255 (the latest, as of now).

• Aside: building and installing imapsync-1.255 ( http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/ ) Install dapper's old imapsync to get some prerequisites installed.

    cd imapsync-1.255
    less INSTALL
    apt-get install libdate-manip-perl
    cp imapsync /usr/local/bin
