Hello, I need to recompile dovecot on ubuntu 14.04 What would be the easiest way to do this? I am trying to follow this tutorial:- https://blog.vbonhomme.fr/add-full-text-search-fts-to-your-dovecot-using-solr-4-10-on-ubuntu-14-04/ When I run :- apt-get source dovecot Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done NOTICE: 'dovecot' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/dovecot.git Need to get 5759 kB of source archives.

The blogger should have done his home work better. Regards, Marc

On Debian based machines, this should be the easiest way ;-) ==== variant 2) Pull the sources from dovecot.org via tarball or mercurial. If you need Sieve and other plugins, I would not call this variant easier. Then you have to option to 2a) try to apply the configuration from the Debian package to the source, in order to have a replacement for the original package, or 2b) create a new configuration from scratch with help from the Debian package, but to install into /usr/local or /opt. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEVAwUBVMH8Knz1H7kL/d9rAQJpNgf/eziZXNla+YGFd6JxC3OAarRsi22o+WYJ r0ElldVnpKsKlZrY3aHfXFSL0/Ij8sW9RQSRSTs1KvnY23F6UmDnZmU7+sfQBHXO MaSxVjPCNyI6CmLHPPQ4iKXJTWGAFCrfYDRTvHT0cra4UKqNPhUttWiYFUqo6s+a P42j5sax4RPG7Hb4MUXEaey4il183Fwm7Z5QjyuMKb0C8gjiK5GGPEXcQ4Tutauq 3uoZ5ScuNvExgL8teEk+JBPeKZmOQzyu1NRrLzqxFYx521CQgU3ttEP8x0PxG3Bz /ya2dCpnB1MZbDOXBhssqu5lKvzWKltjVHoCzJKrF0vP4x+EEunO3A==k/gi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Dear Marc. Thanks =) Already have dovecot-solr installed. Is there a way to see if dovecot-solr is actually working?

Dear Steffen, Variant 2 does look more challenging but I don't think its necessary if dovecot-solr is already available and installed. I guess the problem is with something else.
