SME8.0 Contribs QA

Version 8.0 Contrib testing

This document lists Contribs that have had been tested running under SME 8

Executive Summary

Contribs should work if they are perl or php based. Some binary application will work as well.

Test guidelines

Considerations_before_installing advises that Contribs for SME 8 have not yet been released, this is to avoid dev workload diagnosing bugs caused by contribs.

Please don't post sme 8 bugs unless you can replicate the bug with the contrib removed or isolated.

	Note:
	If you have suggestions, issues or solutions for a contrib, please post them in bugzilla against the contrib.

Workarounds

Contribs that sort of work, but need improvement

smeserver-dansguardian

Dansguardian works with very limited testing in transparent proxy mode, ie it block sites

dansguardian would very likely benefit from rebuilding on a .el5 base
