Hello, I am using ubuntu-server for some of my servers. Unfortunately the latest version available is 1.1.11. Is there any alternative than building it from source to get the latest dovecot version ? Thanks Stonki

Hi Stefan Onken wrote:> you mean the Debian packages ?

I just switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu,so I am not that familiar with these things. If you can get me some idea (properly by private email) than I will try it. Stonki

If you can > get me some idea (properly by private email) than I will try it.I had a look at the backports-page of debian. There are now some backports, even for 64bit: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=dovecot&searchon=names§ion=all&suite=lenny-backports So we need to change this too... how to add the backports-thing to your system is described here: http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions If you are running Ubuntu 9.04 ($ lsb_release -sir) this should work as their packages are based on debian lenny. When you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask. There are many howtos about backporting on the internet. One example is this (its in german, but you should understand it according to your domain name...;): http://wiki.unixboard.de/index.php/Debian_Backports regards raf
