Packaging changes in Open-Xchange Server v6.22

Configuration file location

In v6.22 we simplified the directory tree containing all configuration files to not longer include the subdirectories admindaemon, common and groupware.

If one of your custom packages contains a configuration file which needs to be read in by Open-Xchange Server, you need to install this file now in the new location. This is typically the case for UI plugins which add some server configuration. In v6.20 and earlier, these plugins used to put their configuration files below:

/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/settings

Now these files need to be put in:

/opt/open-xchange/etc/settings

If you are accessing configuration files from your own Java code by absolute path, you are of course free to move these files to our new directory layout or just leave them where they are.

Theme packages

In v6.20 and earlier, custom themes were registered in the file

/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/settings/themes.properties

by adding a line following this format:

modules/themes/customtheme=Custom Theme

In v6.22 and later, every theme installs its own configuration file:

/opt/open-xchange/etc/settings/customtheme.properties

The format of the this file is unchanged, so it would still contain the one line documented above.

If you have made changes to the file themes.properties in 6.20.7 or earlier, the changed file will be moved to the new location and you configuration will continue to work.
