Hi,

I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to 
install a 2.x version but
unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15.
Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would prefer 
to handle packages because
it's a lot simpler and cleaner.
After some research I found some debian packages available here :
http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/


So my question is would it be possible to recompile the source package 
to make a ubuntu one ?
Or maybe could I install directly the debian package (but I suppose 
dependencies are not the same ...).
If someone has already an experience with that and couls share his 
experience.
Still don't understand why distros don't use dovecot 2.x ? Is it 
considered still as unstable ?


Thanks
