Hi Stephan, many thanks for all the work you do on the new sieve parts to dovecot. As a (downstream) packager I have some questions: a) pigeonhole is called a working title - will the final release be called something else like dovecot-sieve again? b) The versioning seems to go from 0.1.15 to 0.1.13. From a packager's POV it would be better to allow a natural version upgrade path. Perhaps the version in hg is just not updated? The reason for these questions/clarifications are that Angel and I are packaging dovecot 2.x betas and matching sieve plugins for allowing more people to a broader testing before the projects go gold. We'd like to have proper naming and versioning in place already for the beta packages.

Perhaps the version in hg is just not updated?Since -sieve and -managesieve codebases have been merged, the ideal version number from a packaging POV would be higher than last -managesieve release (0.11.11) to ensure simpler upgrade paths on -managesieve packages. -- Angel Marin http://anmar.eu.org/

People who don't know what a pigeonhole is or what the verb means (especially the Dutch), sometimes have `interesting' associations with that name. I am quite confident though that this name is the definitive one. I'll adjust the website accordingly.> b) The versioning seems to go from 0.1.15 to 0.1.13.

Current plans are to call name the packages dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.0. However, this versioning scheme is not ideal, so ideas are welcome. Regards, Stephan.
