Zimbra really did a number on opensource. As well as stopping publishing builds for OSS, the build process seems to be a complicated mess that only a select few understand with enough confidence to build reliable, secure packages, and even then there's confusion about which tags mean what, when.
So who do you use to install/upgrade Zimbra OSS? I've added a poll here out of interest. The problem I see is that Techfiles isn't updated nearly enough to be useful (and I'm not in any way denigrating what he's contributed to the community) - they're simply not released frequently enough to respond to security problems. Intalio scares me because it's repo based and there's no transparency to what it actually is or does. Maldua seems to be the most frequently updated, but I'm completely confused about what of the many versions on the download page to use, and what actually covers whatever serious security issue has been released today about Zimbra.
I've used Zimbra since it first came out in beta, I've deployed it to companies, I've run it personally, I've bought NE, I've bought Zextras, but I've really lost all confidence in Zimbra recently - even in the paid versions. It just all seems such as mess. And there are serious security vulns coming out quicker than I can process them.
Anyone else feel this way, or just me?
