Where do you think the following binaries should be installed to? The
possible locations are:
- bin/
- sbin/
- libexec/dovecot/ (or lib/dovecot/ in most Linux distros)
So the binaries are:
1) These probably belong to bin/ or sbin/ or both:
- authtest
- dovecotpw
- doveadm
2) Binaries that you might want to call from mail_executable setting:
- rawlog
- gdbhelper
3) Index file dumping programs, mostly meant for debugging problems:
- idxview
- listview
- logview
- mailboxlogview
- threadview
4) Some extra tools that might be useful sometimes:
- imap-utf7 : Encode/decode IMAP mailbox names (mUTF-7 <-> UTF-8)
- maildirlock : Lock a Maildir, primarily intended for compressing
files in maildir
And perhaps some of the binaries should be renamed? The authtest
actually now looks like a bad name. Maybe it should have been
"doveauthtest" or "dovecot-authtest" or ..?
