Topic: About installation on Debian

Hi I want to install iRedMail on a Debian 6 system, but I have a doubt, If iRedMail use "Debian" packages (*.deb) instead download "tar" version of RoundCube, and other.

Thanks

Edited:
when I run install script, it get tar files:

< INFO > Fetching source tarballs ...
< INFO > + 1 of 6: http://iredmail.org/apt/misc/iRedAdmin-0.1.8.tar.bz2
< INFO > + 2 of 6: http://iredmail.org/apt/misc/roundcubemail-0.7.2.tar.gz
< INFO > + 3 of 6: http://iredmail.org/apt/misc/phpldapadmin-1.2.2.tgz
< INFO > + 4 of 6: http://iredmail.org/apt/misc/phpMyAdmin … es.tar.bz2
< INFO > + 5 of 6: http://iredmail.org/apt/misc/iRedAPD-1.3.7.tar.bz2
< INFO > + 6 of 6: http://iredmail.org/apt/misc/phpPgAdmin-5.0.4.tar.bz2

while, watching some youtube videos (not this same version), like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ge5zkwfauE&t=325, I can see "Fetching Binary Packages"

Why?

Re: About installation on Debian

  • Forget about "Fetching Binary Packages" and "Fetching source tarballs", just different typos.

  • About Roundcube webmail: As i can remember, the Roundcube (deb) package in Debian apt repository misses official plugins. So we use source tarball instead. Correct me if i was wrong.

  • About phpMyAdmin, phpLDAPadmin, phpPgAdmin: Although iRedMail downloads the source tarball, but it actually use the deb package in official apt repo. You can find this in iRedMail-0.8.1/conf/phpmyadmin (line 36), conf/phpldapadmin (line 32), conf/phppgadmin (line 34). Quote below (controlled by *_USE_SOURCE='NO'):

#
# File conf/phpmyadmin
#
# Install phpMyAdmin with binary packages.                                      
if [ X"${DISTRO}" == X'DEBIAN' -o X"${DISTRO}" == X'UBUNTU' ]; then
    export PHPMYADMIN_USE_SOURCE='NO'


#
# File conf/phpldapadmin
#
if [ X"${DISTRO}" == X'DEBIAN' -o X"${DISTRO}" == X'UBUNTU' ]; then
    # Install phpLDAPadmin via apt repo.
    export PHPLDAPADMIN_USE_SOURCE='NO'


#
# File conf/phppgadmin
#
# Install phpPgAdmin with binary packages.
if [ X"${DISTRO}" == X'DEBIAN' -o X"${DISTRO}" == X'UBUNTU' ]; then
    export PHPPGADMIN_USE_SOURCE='NO'
