I just revived my copr with dovecot-2.3.21.1 for F43 (x86_64 and aarch64) based on the SRPM from koji. The only change I made was bumping the epoch to 2 so any F43 dovecot-2.4.x releases would not replace it. A fresh build which completed successfully is here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/patrickl/Dovecot-2.3/ Meanwhile I switched to git HEAD with the debian config files from: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dovecot You can find the F43 builds here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/patrickl/dovecot/ > I'm about to do an upgrade to Fedora 43 and I wanted to avoid doing a > simultaneous upgrade to Dovecot 2.4 which is now the distro packaged > version, since I have not yet converted my configuration. Either creating and adding your own copr with dovecot-2.3.21.1 for F43 or adding my copr (with sudo dnf copr enable patrickl/Dovecot-2.3 ) should result in dovecot-2.3.21.1 on F43 due to the higher epoch number (Epoch: 2) than the F43-shipped dovecot-2.4.1 RPM (Epoch: 1). > I managed to compile from source (after taking care of adding -licuuc to > the linker flags when linking test-fts-filter).

There are a lot of patches in the dovecot-2.3.21.1 SRPM. Given that Fedora is the upstream for RHEL (iirc via CentOS Stream) I guess they are needed for that Enterprise flavor :-) Best, Patrick _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
