hi frank,
Yes, that's true. But I had never problems to test new versions with a modified port. I copied the port files to a new directory and changed the Makefile, e.g.: (snip) This works on FreeBSD-7 in a jail.
that's good to know. thanks!
(btw, what were your base JAIL buildworld make.conf specs for the dovecot-containing jail? if you can share, please email me offlist ...)
nonetheless, isn't it a bit ironic -- in this thread, anyway -- after being told "you're on your own" for using recommended/supported procedures, and barked @ for not using the standard port, that doing something completely unsupported, which works fortuitously, especially since there are some significant differences between v109 an v11bXXX, is deemed "like an excellent idea"? lol.
cheers.
