[Postfixadmin-devel] Need help packinging postfixadmin from SVN sources

[Juan C. G. D. <jua...@pe...>]

Hello,

I'm willing, for personal porpouse, to develop some new feature in 
postfixadmin, it's about exposing mailbox creation and password changing 
functionalities through web services in order to integrate a mail server 
with a portal.

I downloaded the SVN version and got it ready to start developing in an 
IDE, eclipse for PHP developers (not connected to the official 
repository but my own one), but i don't know how to package the project 
in tarball (tar.gz) format in order to make a clean installation. Also I 
wanted to ask if it's better to install a stable postfixadmin release 
and the upgrade it with the new features added by me (I don't even know 
how to do this). By the way, destination server for this development is 
Ubuntu 9.10.
Finally, if you think eclipse is not the right tool to work with 
postfixadmin, I hope you can introduce me to "the official" alternatives 
to work with.

I hope you people can guide me through this, maybe with tutorials or 
even by personal contact. I didn't even know to ask for this in the 
postfixadmin-devel mailing list or the svn mailing list, I just decided 
to start here and wait for some enlightment from you.

I hope I can share this feature with you when it's done and I'm open for 
any suggestions you might have.

Thank you very much.
