I don't think the zimbra overlay is being maintained at all anymore. Your only option of trying to get this to work is to copy the ebuild into your local overlay and try using that one. But, I have not yet been able to get zimbra installed using this mechanism. The only way I got it working was by installing inside a chroot, as described here:

Good luck! |

Has anyone made any further headway on this ? I was looking into it the other day and saw that the latest zimbra release allows building from source using perforce. I don't have any experience with that, but was hoping someone who did might want to take a look:

| That would be awesome. I'm planning to look more into this as well as time permits. I'm in the middle of moving from Texas to Colorado, so I'm pretty swamped at the moment, but hopefully in a few weeks things will quiet down and I can look more closely at this as well. |

I started to work through the guide and at the end is a rough outline of what I did. However it all came unstuck when I became aware that Zimbra requires it's own copies of apache, mysql & php. This sucks when you already have those packages installed and are using them for other purposes (i.e. webserver). This thread suggests that it might be possible to hack the configuration, but I haven't looked into it.
Unfortunately it appears that Zimbra doesn't fit very well with the Gentoo philosophy and probably prefers to run on it's own server. A fine idea for a big corporate, but for a small business / charity not so good. The alternative is to hack Zimbra to integrate better with third-party software.
These are my notes incase someone finds them useful.

| WOW! This is really great, so glad that someone has started to work on a gentoo version of this. I tried playing with it as well, but couldn't get anything to work and finally gave up. Looks like you made it further than I did though. I'll play around with your version when I get a chance! Thanks for all your work! |

Anyone made any further progress on this ? I tried playing with what matthew provided, but unfortunately wasn't able to get any further than he was. Perhaps we're just going to have to settle for the debootstrap method of installing zimbra  . |
