dovecot - Aug 2017 - new install on Centos 7

I currently have Postfix Dovecot MySQL on Centos 6, looking at migrating
to new server

new server is CentOS 7.3, but, the Centos repo version is

dovecot            x86_64       1:2.2.10-7.el7

what is the best way to install current release Dovecot on a new server ?

tia,

V

Following onto your similar post on the postfix mailing list...

GhettoForge has dovecot22 packages as well which provide the latest
stable version of Dovecot for CentOS 6 and 7.

Peter, thanks.

I've followed GhettoForge's Postfix page, so far so good

but, I'm not that sure of getting dovecot22...

do I need to do a 'yum shell --enablerepo=gf-plus', followed by install,
run, quit; like for Postfix..?
or
rpm -i

?
