==Installing Zimbra on Gentoo using the provided Debian package==
''(Taken from http://www.elfenbeinturm.cc/2006/07/28/zimbra-on-gentoo/)''
# add dev-util/debootstrap to your /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge debootstrap
# create the chroot environment: mkdir /zimbra
# run debootstrap: debootstrap sarge /zimbra http://ftp.debian.org/debian (If you are on amd64 you will need to use debootstrap --arch i386 sarge /zimbra http://ftp.debian.org/debian so that it knows which architecture to bootstrap onto your machine)
# mount proc, dev and sys
#* mount -o bind /proc /zimbra/proc
#* mount -o bind /sys /zimbra/sys
#* mount -o bind /dev /zimbra/dev
#* mount -o bind /dev/pts /zimbra/dev/pts
#* mount -o bind /dev/shm /zimbra/dev/shm
# chroot to the debian environment: chroot /zimbra
# Set a root password
# Adjust your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
# Edit your /etc/apt/apt.conf and add: APT::Cache-Limit 16777216;
# Add testing and unstable repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list ['''NOTE: it was suggested that this step is harmful; do at your own risk''']:
#* deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
#* deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
# Update the package listing: apt-get update
# Update the system: apt-get upgrade
# Install required packages:
#* apt-get install sudo libidn11 curl fetchmail libgmp3 libxml2 libstdc++6 openssl file perl libexpat1
# Get the zimbra debian package and untar the archive
# Run ./install.sh in the newly created zcs directory and follow the instructions
# Create the init.d script (/etc/init.d/zimbra)
# Start the zimbra suite: /etc/init.d/zimbra start

== init.d script ==
<pre>
#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
    need net
    after portmap
    after iptables
    after dnsmasq
}

start() {

chroot="/Zimbra"
bind_directories="proc dev dev/pts dev/shm sys"

for directory in $bind_directories ; do
 mount --bind /$directory $chroot/$directory
done

echo "rm -rf /var/run/*.pid" | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/cron start" | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/sysklogd start" | chroot $chroot
echo 'su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start"' | chroot $chroot

}

stop() {

chroot="/Zimbra"

echo 'su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol stop"' | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/cron stop" | chroot $chroot
echo "/etc/init.d/sysklogd stop" | chroot $chroot

bind_directories="proc dev/pts dev/shm dev sys"

for directory in $bind_directories ; do
  umount $chroot/$directory
done
} 
</pre>

Your debian environment needs less than 200 MB (without zimbra) which isn’t too much overhead.
