If someone wants to test it, here are the packages: http://repository.linuxsystems.it/pool/main/r/roundcube/
Vincent Bernat told me it does not work for him, all folders are empty. I still didn't test it.
Let me know if it does work for you.

Why is there a need for a package at all? It is quite down to earth to install roundcube by hand. The INSTALL,UPGRADE files are also self explained.

Simple: because it's easier to maintain :)

maybe because if it's packaged and well mainained you have an automatic update of roundcube when you update the operating system :-)
the biggest problem I have installing roundcube in production environments is that we have not a long term supported stable version (a version patched against bugs, but without adding new features).
this is sad, because I think roundcube is the best webmail available, it has all the features I want in a webmail and it is also userfriendly and grafically actractive!
I hope linux distributions start maintaining stable releases of roundcube to use on this environments, so this package is a *great* idea!

Well, I understand. So here opinions differ. For me it worked very well just upgrading all by hand. With this I am independent from the maintainer and can upgrade immediately after release.

These 2 are not mutually exclusive.

I am independent too, I have my own build server and I already maintain some custom packages I use in my squeeze servers:
- ssh with High Performance (HPN) patches
- xen 4.1.x
- asterisk-1.8.x with t.38 gateway patches (with latest spandsp, libpri,
dahdi)
- linux kernel (squeeze's 2.6.32(-xen) + routing patches + solos pci fixes)
- much more
I still don't have my own debian mirror but I will: upgrading all the virtual machines means downloading the very same packages lots of times.
Vincent Bernat (debian's roundcube maintainer) debianized the roundcube sources I host in my repository, I just compiled them. Anyway it would be extremely easy to maintain it for me if upstream will provide security fixes for 0.6.x.
As I said 0.6 packages still don't work (at least for Vincent Bernat, I can't test them ATM), so testers are welcome.

it worked for me too (and it's what I do on my staging environment and on my personal webmail), but I would also like to have a stable packaged version for webmail I install for company where I cannot add feature and/or change the interface to all users to fix a bug (interface change needs for the final users and the IT support staff to be trained on the changes)

yes, it's true, but if you have hundreds or thousands of servers to manage you would agree packages are nice ;-)

I found some time to test it and I fixed the problem. I will upload a working version soon.

The updated version is in the repository, I didn't bump the version number tough.
