dovecot - Mar 2008 - Automatic Debian repository with packages for Dovecot-1.1 including Sieve and ManageSieve support.

Hello Dovecot users,

For those of you who like to live on the edge, there is now a 
Debian-testing repository available with hourly updates from recent 
Dovecot-1.1 changes in the Mercurial repositories. It automatically 
releases a new set of packages if it notices any changes in any of the 
repositories. The packages are built with dovecot-sieve-1.1 and 
dovecot-1.1-managesieve included. Currently, it only provides binaries 
for the i386 architecture and no source packages are available. The 
small Debian-specific patches that are included in the official Debian 
packages are currently not included for this repository. Also, the 
packages are currently not PGP signed.

I've built this repository to obtain continuous updates on whether the  
managesieve patch and package still compile and work with the latest 
Dovecot  release. I get an e-mail if anything goes wrong during the 
build. I implemented the cron script right at the release of 
dovecot-1.1.rc1 and now that it successfully upgraded the package 
versions to 1.1.rc2, I decided to release the repository to the world.

Needless to say: do **NOT** use this repository for systems that need to 
be **STABLE**.

Usage should be similar to the backports.org repository 
(http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions), but add 
the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto main

Package versions look as follows: 1:<upstream-version>~auto+<build
number>
Current latest version: 1:1.1.rc2~auto+1

For questions, comments and requests, you can send me an e-mail.

Regards,

Reasonable enough. (-:  I urge you to provide source packages so (a) I can 
read the debian diff, and (b) I can build them for my amd64 server.
