They are very welcome, especially as Bionic provides only dovecot 2.2.

Thank you :-)

Thank you. I was always interested why those packages cannot be in upstream,
but people maintain their own repositories for them.

Is it too slow-moving to get a pkg into upstream or it is in upstream
already, but not up to date? Other reasons?

Just curiosity, as I'll be in similar position soon, trying to
maintain own package.

Best regards,

Hello Dovecot-List,

so Ubuntu users now can get the latest dovecot version. As I am just
building a production mailserver for customers, this could come in handy,
maybe.
For a live production system, is it reasonable to switch from the main
Ubuntu Dovecot release to your newer packages?
How long will the Dovecot team build these packages? When the team don't
want to build these packages anymore, how difficult will it be to switch
back to the Ubuntu maintained versions?

Michael

Upstream, i.e. Ubuntu, only does securtiy updates, not feature updates, 
within a release.

PS: Recently, they mixed both when upping ghostscript, a script of mine 
broke in the process, when ps2ascii output changed - without warning - 
to the better ;)
