dovecot - Jul 2014 - Dovecot EE on SciLinux 6.5: No Config Files in /etc

Greetings,

I tried installing Dovecot EE on Scientific 6.5 yesterday, but there was 
no repo under that release version, so I hardcoded the release version 
to 6 in yum.repos.d/dovecot.repo.

That worked, but when I installed, it didn't install any default 
configuration files.  /etc/dovecot was empty.

Is that to be expected for EE?

It's expected, although I guess maybe there could be some README file. The
main problem I've noticed with some other RPMs have been that if I add a new
file to /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ it gets included when upgrading the RPM. But if
that new file depends on changes that were made to other config files, then
adding the file breaks the whole configuration completely. This is what happened
in v2.0 -> v2.1 atrpms RPM upgrade. I don't want that ever to happen with
dovecot-ee. Maybe there would be some other ways to solve that, but the simplest
solution was to have no config files.
