Moreover, Actually there are just 4 package (obm-conf, obm-core, obm-storage and obm-ui) butI work to publish other package to install Full OBM ( mail, ldap...). At the end it will be: obm-ldap obm-cyrus obm-postfix obm-services obm-samba obm-satellite libobmsatellite-perl libobm-perl
All package of use obm-conf, and obm-conf must be installed on all serveur of obm architecture. For the 4 package you can have obm-storage on the first serveur, and the real application, obm-core on the second. But in order to make upgrade of BD with obm-storage, upgrade script can use API of obm in order to move calendar data or crm data, or other. So obm-core is required by obm-storage. > When upgrading packages, it is customary to be able to upgrade > conffiles.
