Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/). Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i386.changes searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any distribution or source) only yields 0.99.14 and 0.99.20050712. I know Jaldhar called for vounteers to take over, but I don't feel qualified... but I've managed to do away with all non-deb installations, so if I have to I'll make a .deb myself, is there maybe an already-written script to do that with dovecot? Thanks for suggestions.
I think 0.99.20050712 is 1.0-stable (presumably from 12th July). See http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-July/008125.html I'm guessing it's not called 1.0.xxx as Dovecot-1.0 has never been formally released. Timo has said he'd rather people used 1.0-stable than 0.99.x though. Mind you, I'm not a Debian expert (or even user!)

You shall keep seeing regular updates to the dovecot .debs in the future. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

I have packages of -test77 on my pet server. Upgrading test73->test76->test77 was simple enough, so the packages are probably good enough. I didn't bother much with clean-ups. So have a look at http://gadot.cohens.org.il/~tzafrir/dovecot/ . Currently this is simply a symlink to the build directory. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir at jbr.cohens.org.il | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir at cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend
