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
i always recompile dove 2.x http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/ use on lucid server, no problems so far
dont know why 2.x is tagged as unstable elsewhere ask distro pack mantainer
Thanks for answering. I am not an expert in package management so how can I regenerate a ubuntu package. Should I download dovecot_2.0.13.orig.tar.gz and dovecot_2.0.13-0~auto+61.debian.tar.gz archive, decompress them and put debian folder inside source folder ? And after what kind of magic line should I enter to regenerate a package(I already have installed all packages described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete) ?
