There is still much to do with horde4. This series completely replaces any
previous versions and isn't backwards compatible with any other horde
framework. Horde decided to go with pear install and split everything into
approx 70 separate installs. That's a work in progress to translate all those
libs and extensions into FreeBSD's port system. If you want to try it in the
meantime, you can do a pear install -a -B of any of the apps and it will
install everything into ${PEARDIR}/horde. Both that path and
${PREFIX}/www/horde are in the search path, so you can have both until I get
everything ported.
I haven't seen any major problems with this release apart from the normal
config issues. Horde has never been much fun to configure given all the
choices, but watching the lists I'm only seeing minor problems and they seem
very good about addressing same. My experience is with a new install, but
migration is possible and supported. I would definitely back up your db before
even attempting an upgrade. The db schema updates are now all contained inside
the main configure screen, but the docs on updating are still sketchy.
H3 is still fully supported and I plan on keeping it updated. This new release
is such a huge departure from previous versions that there really aren't any
choices besides a fresh install (keeping the old data and importing).
I would much appreciate any feedback you have if you do update to this
version.
I'm going to cc this to ports@, so others know what the status is.
