General Information
The git fusion server gives users access to download and build/modify Zimbra source code for Open Source products. Building Zimbra Collaboration Suite from Zimbra's git fusion server requires advanced knowledge of troubleshooting. It is not available for Network Edition components. Changes cannot be committed to the git fusion server.
By building Zimbra, you agree to Zimbra's licensing terms. Building from source is not covered under the ZEUL, unlike pre-compiled binaries, but rather the ZPL or YPL.
Technical support for source building can be found in the Zimbra Developers forum.
By default, you will only be able to build "out of the box" with supported operating systems (see list on site or files in ZimbraBuild/defs). However, you may be able to modify the source to get Zimbra to build on your OS of choice.
Initial Setup
At it's simplest, to obtain the source you need to essentially:
- Install git
- yum install git (RHEL, SLES, etc)
- aptitude install git (Ubuntu, etc)
- Obtain the git ssh access keys
- mkdir -p /tmp/zimbra-git
- cd /tmp/zimbra-git
- wget http://files2.zimbra.com/downloads/git-fusion/zimbra-git-ssh.tgz
- tar xfz zimbra-git-ssh.tgz
- Add the access keys to your own user account:
- cd ~/.ssh
- cp /tmp/zimbra-git/id_rsa_git* .
- Add the following ~/.ssh/config. Create the file if it doesn't exist:
Host zimbra-git User public Hostname git.zimbra.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_git IdentitiesOnly yes Port 1067
IMPORANT: Before attempting to build, please be sure to read the README for the branch release you're building.

New master script for (5.0.14+):
~/git/REPOSITORY/ZimbraBuild/buildZCS.sh -t
(This will help you through adding Ant & JDK, check dependencies, build ThridParty using a public CPAN mirror for Perl, then start the ZCS build process.)
IMPORTANT: NOT YET UPDATED FOR GIT
Obtaining the source to Zimbra Collaboration Suite
The source code for ZCS is retrieved from git.zimbra.com.
Source for the "main" branch
main is the development branch. The primary git respository for main is: main-foss
To obtain the source:
- mkdir -p ~/git
- cd ~/git
- git clone git@zimbra-git:main-foss
Source for the IronMaiden "8.0" branch
IronMaiden is the 8.0 series release. Current version & changelist can be found on Pmweb The primary git respository for IRONMAIDEN development is: ironmaiden-foss The current release repository is ironmaiden-806-foss
To obtain the source:
- mkdir -p ~/git
- cd ~/git
- git clone git@zimbra-git:REPOSITORY Example:
- git clone git@zimbra-git:ironmaiden-foss
Source for the Helix "7.x" branch
Helix is the 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 series release. Current version & changelist can be found on Pmweb The primary git respository for HELIX development is: helix-foss. The current release repository is helix-726-foss
To obtain the source:
- mkdir -p ~/git
- cd ~/git
- git clone git@zimbra-git:REPOSITORY Example:
- git clone git@zimbra-git:helix-foss
Updating an existing source clone
To update an already existing clone:
- cd ~/git/REPOSITORY
- git pull

Building "Nightlies"
The 'main' branch, (often referred to as mainline) contains the latest code - if your interested in seeing pre-release software check it out.
It is constantly in flux (for instance we might stagger spec files to avoid the need to always rebuild ThirdParty), if you're hitting a error in the Zimbra build side the first thing to do is re-sync, as we typically resolve these fast.
Under Construction:
