First of all, hi!
This is my first e-mail to the list, so I just wanted to say hey, first. Anyhoot:

Personally, I never saw the point in putting web based apps in the debian repository.
I absolutely agree with you. Especially considering the already convoluted nature of Debian's repositories, and the ever present discussion of "vanity" apps that are so prevelant as well. I see having an apt-get roundcoube could possibly even make installation of roundcube more confusing. I don't know if anyone else has tried installing web apps from the Debian repository, but its made much more complicated than it should be. Just some thoughts from a huge fan of roundmail, and even bigger whore for debian.
I guess I'm just picky but I'd rather install this sort of app in the location I choose and maintain it on my own since it doesn't require recompilation and it doesn't have any dependencies other than PHP/MySQL/Apache.
I guess it gives another option to those that don't want to do that.

Hi,
It seems that RoundCube is going to enter the official Debian archives soon.
So what is the status now? It is not in debian at the moment so i think
it was
rejected. Do you need help with the package? I also can contact a
sponsor if
the package is clean. If it was rejected what was the reason?
regards, Frank
