The patch between rc17 and 1.0? That's a 18668 line diff. > If there are only bug fixes which are obvious, I'm fine with it.

Indeed they do, but when many of the changelog entries simply say "Index view syncing fixes" or "More index file handling fixes", it's next to impossible to identify the specific patch that fixes this particular issue. Also, finding out if said patch depends on any of the previous patches is going to be a lot of work. I've taken a peek at the diff and doesn't look like it introduced any significant config file changes (deprecated a config option, added another), so it doesn't sound all that invasive. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/ -- Dovecot crashes on index files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
