dovecot - Dec 2013 - Ubuntu packages and broken link in docs

Hi,

Two things:

1. Does anyone know of a good PPA with updated packages of Dovecot for 
Ubuntu? "For the latest Dovecot for latest Ubuntu LTS see Xiaoka APT 
Repository. (Outdated. Could someone provide a ppa for latest stable 
Dovecot, please?)"

2. On the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Ubuntu page there 
is a link to a supposedly outdated PPA, the ppa page now redirects to an 
ad for the guys services so should probably be removed.

I don't know how 'stable' PPAs are. There is a list of Dovecot PPAs:
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=dovecot>
You may also try Stephan's auto builds:

Thanks for the info. I've removed the outdated link.
