similar to: Dovecot-auth relicensing to BSD/MIT

Hi, I would like to submit the attached patch. It implements IO loop using FreeBSD's kqueue/kevent syscalls. It is based on snapshot of CVS HEAD as of 2005-12-12. I could only give it limited testing on FreeBSD 5.4 but it works fine so far. Vaclav Haisman -------------- next part -------------- diff -rN -u old-dovecot-cvs/autogen.sh new-dovecot-cvs/autogen.sh ---

I rewrote much of the kqueue code since the old code didn't handle properly the case when both input and output I/O handlers were added to the same file descriptor with different callbacks. This is done commonly in Dovecot, so I'm wondering why more people didn't complain about problems with it.. :) I don't anyway have access to any BSDs so the code is completely untested. Please

The attached patch should fix the problem with dying imap on "Unrecognized event". The problem is that when we register a handle for IO_ERROR only, we still can get readable/writable event without EV_EOF being set. This case was not handled. -- Vaclav Haisman -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed... Name: io-kq.diff URL:

Apparently Dovecot with kqueue ioloop enabled causes random crashes in FreeBSD 9.1. Anyone else noticed something like that? I'm wondering if Dovecot's kqueue code has a bug somewhere (I can't find it) or could it be that FreeBSD itself has a bug? Anyway it seems to be returning events for filters that have already been removed.

Hi, I am maintaining a port of rsync (https://github.com/perlundq/yajsync) which is GPL:ed of course. The main purpose of the project is to provide a Java API library for the rsync protocol. It would therefore be really nice to be able to use LGPL as the license. But in order to do so I would first have to get a list of all the individual contributors to rsync and then be able to contact them

Hi, the attached patch contains these changes: 2005-12-15 22:18 Vaclav Haisman <v.haisman@sh.cvut.cz> * src/lib/ioloop-kqueue.c: Fix IO_ERROR behaviour. * src/lib/ioloop-notify-kqueue.c: New file. * configure.in: Improve kqueue detection and handling. Cleanup. The configure.in changes that are not related to kqueue are there to make autoconf 2.59, automake 1.9.6 and libtool 1.5.20

Hi, 2.2.25 crashes on FreeBSD with a kqueue-related message. I see references to something similar (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-February.txt) from a couple years ago. I get: Jul 1 10:07:27 imap dovecot: master: Panic: kevent(EV_ADD, READ, 54) failed: Bad file descriptor It's not dumping core, and I get the message even with "protocols =" Downgrading back to 2.2.24

Hi, We have a issue with a server pretty much just running dovecot, there's about 250gb of maildirs which has about 200 simultaneous connections to it running on freebsd 7. The machine has stayed up for about 8 days before it panics but sometimes panics after about 24 hours. We are running a PAE kernel (with ULE scheduler) as the machine has 2 (4 core processors) and 8gb of ram, dovecot is

I had originally thought that I'd do a complete audit of the Dovecot's sources this weekend, but looks like I didn't. Hopefully I've been writing good enough code that the "1000 EUR for security hole" offer lasts for a long time. :) This release should fix the SSL parameter regeneration problem. There were two changes that were needed to fix it, but I had forgotten the

As promised, here it is finally. v1.0 is getting nearer and I want people to start looking at Dovecot's sources. Getting some more help with development would be nice, but I'd also like to hear if there are any hidden bugs in the code. So, one week from now I'll start offering 1000 EUR for the first person to point out a remotely exploitable security hole in Dovecot. See

I built and install Dovecot 2.0Beta4 on my NetBSD/amd64-current system, and am seeing the user-owned imap processes busy-looping. In Dovecot 1.2.x (and 1.x and 0.x..) I force ionotify and ioloop to kqueue, so I suspected that was the problem. Turns out it's not: Using poll or none also causes the same problem. This did not happen in 1.2.8 (didn't try anything later than that).

Time is probably better spent coding ;) And that's OK

I am getting random disconnects from my imap session, dificulties to revconnect, very sluggish behaviour when changing between mail folders also frequent and rapidly repititive messages on te client "mailserver x.x.x.x is not a imap4 server" I am running dovecot 1.0.rc2 from ports on OpenBSD 4.0 on a PIII, 500MHz 512MB My set up is very small - a webserver with a single imap account on
