Hi,
I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to
install a 2.x version but
unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15.
Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would
prefer to
handle packages because
it's a lot simpler and cleaner.
After some research I found some debian packages available here :
http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/
So my question is would it be possible to recompile the source
package
to make a ubuntu one ?
Or maybe could I install directly the debian package (but I suppose
dependencies are not the same ...).
If someone has already an experience with that and couls share his
experience.
Still don't understand why distros don't use dovecot 2.x ? Is it
considered still as unstable ?
Thanks
i always recompile dove 2.x
http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/
use on lucid server, no problems so far
dont know why 2.x is tagged as unstable elsewhere
ask distro pack mantainer
Thanks for answering.
I am not an expert in package management so how can I regenerate a
ubuntu package.
Should I download dovecot_2.0.13.orig.tar.gz and
dovecot_2.0.13-0~auto+61.debian.tar.gz archive,
decompress them and put debian folder inside source folder ?
And after what kind of magic line should I enter to regenerate a
package(I already have installed all packages described in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete) ?
