I do that all the time. > Do both versions install the same binaries? No, but as long as you don't use the other one's extra binaries it doesn't matter. > Is configuration from 2.x backward > compatible with 1.x? (so we can have the newest configuration files on our > system without bothering to have a second set of 1.x config files) v2.0 can read most v1.x config files, but it'll give a lot of warnings about it. Their default configs are anyway in different locations. I just keep them both: v1.x: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf v2.x: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > Or instead should we be changing something like the installation and config > directorie for one of the versions when we install it (how?). ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-2.0
