Hi everyone,

Based on the work of Jorge and fabbione, i have managed to package ifolder and simias. There are now in my ppa.

As i am pretty new to packaging, there may be some bugs here and there (though i have tried my best to hunt them down). In other words, do not use it if you don't wish to see your files being chewed on.

Known issues:
* it is only available for i386 as one of its dependency (libflaim4.1) is only available for i386
* when doing a straight apt-get install simias ifolder3 , it might be stuck at configuring mono-apache-server. This is bug #179432
  Workaround: install mono-apache-server first before libapache2-mod-mono

Potential issues:
*Dependency/configuration issues. (A sure works but overkill workaround is to sudo apt-install build-dep simias ifolder3)

Todo:
* postinst script to do the configuration (still learning how to write a postinst script. Would anyone like to help?)
* Create .desktop file so that ifolder can be launched from the menu instead of the terminal

Steps to install ifolder

Add the following 2 lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ruiboon/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ruiboon/ubuntu hardy main

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mono-apache-server; sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-mono;
sudo apt-get install simias ifolder3 libsimias0 libsimias-dev

Configure it as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iFolderEnterpriseServer#head-e17d39516af9e7181ddd68699606140337892cc9 under "Configuring the server", "Setup iFolder Admin WebAccess", "Setting up iFolder WebAccess"

Start ifolder3 in terminal
