IMP Packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setting up IMP can be a pain there are several steps you must take in order
to get everything installed and operational.  Currently there are 2 types of
packaging out there in use (there are probably more but these are the ones
we're supporting).

These are:
    RPM (Red Hat Package Management), which has a .rpm extension
    Debian Package format, which has a .deb extension.

There is currently a Debian package being maintained by Ivan Moore II.  It
is available from http://horde.tdyc.com/ and will shortly be available
within the Debian distribution.  This package takes care of most
configuration issues and still allows you to customize your IMP
installation. This package also detects PostgreSQL and MySQL installations
and will automagically configure either for use with IMP. After installing
this package you will have a functional IMP installation.

There are currently RPM packages being maintained by Brent J. Nordquist
<bjn@horde.org>.  They are available from ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/RPMS/.
Please see the README file accompanying these RPMs for installation
instructions and a complete list of all required RPMs.
