Hello List,
I have to install a "new" system, what is the best way for this. I
like to
install a CentOS System but I only found dovecot for CentOS 7 is this
compatible for CentOS 8 or have I to setup a CentOS 7 System ?
The onboard dovecot is 2.2.36-5 :-(
Thanks for a answer,
Dovecot 2.2.36-5 can be installed from the CentOS 8 AppStream
repository using yum/dnf.
Regards,
That's not what he was asking for as he already figured that there is
only 2.2.36-5 in EL8 available.
EL8 introduced some changes that especially affect build
environments/requirements.
For example tcp_wrappers has been dropped and there is also no
quota-devel package yet.
So, it's basically difficult to build certain packages (like dovecot)
due to missing dependencies that can't be resolved yet, unless one
builds the missing dependencies him/herself.
On the other hand I do wonder what's the problem with 2.2.36? You could
install this first and upgrade Dovecot at a later point when Dovecot
2.3.x is available for EL8?
