Other than debian-based and redhat-based distros, will this limit the packaging of modoboa, or even make it impossible to package for other distros?

I don't know exactly what your point is? In the future, we can support more packaging systems. But Debian and RHEL-based distro's are very popular. We might even add BSD-distro's via ports...

Besides that, packaging Modoboa for popular distro's doesn't mean it can't be installed from source or PyPi anymore.

Edit: Packages are build using the source and (in case of Debian) control files telling the buildsystem how to "cook" it. This can be done for any distro and doesn't make it incompatible with other distro's AFAIK.

Edit2: And we have to start somewhere.

My point was, that hopefully modoboa stays distro independant.

I have the experience, when using my own custom built distro on top of getoo, things like openxchange, or kolab for example, which have, at least in some parts only distro-specific packaging, are a headache to run on "non-supported" distros.

It is preferable to still be able tu install modoboa via pypi or other more distro-independant ways.

BTW, I find the installing method via PyPi very cool :) and would of course like to see this stay this way :)

Since Modoboa now has its own installer (https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-installer), I close this issue.
