Hi Jason, I would consider these packages as beta. However I am running them on our production server with no problem so far. There was no problem upgrading. Just make sure you install vpopmail-bin and libvpopmail1.
I will install them on another server shortly. I have tried to make these packages match as closely as possible to the packages produced by ondrej with the exception of the mysql support. If ondrej is busy and needs help preparing packages I am happy to help out - but it is difficult to know if he doesn't respond to email. cheers, Iain.
