You could adopt the script for any package you like. The script is called from the cyrus init script and it does the following: - It reads a config file which contains the db configs of the currently installed cyrus imapd binaries. This file is created within the rpm build process. - Determine the db format of every db file using the file command, with an enhanced magics file containing skiplist and possible future backends. - Convert db files as needed. - Write the current db configs to a cache file to prevent big servers from converting all their dbs on every startup (which is my default). For more info you may have a look at the source rpm. Simon > > Iain
