Sad, had planed to migrate my dovecot cluster (2x director 2x IMAP from 2.2.36 (CentOS 7) to 2.4 (AlmaLinux 9, when 2.4 is released).
So, does anyone already built a STABLE(!) alternative for director?
@Aki: Is dovecot IMAP 2.4 expected to still work with dovecot director 2.2 (or 2.3)?
In this case I may just upgrade the IMAP Servers and leave the director/loadbalancer servers for some time.
In general: Is the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 or 2.4. smooth or are there a lot of breaking changes and the upgrade would have to be planend thoroughly?
thanks,
Steven
Is there a specific reason why there are (still) no el9 packages?
Because 2.3 still does not support RHEL9. It will be added for 2.4.
Oh shit, I did not expect there was such a huge dependency on the os for dovecot. I have already removed some old test el8 stuff and upgrading from el7 to el9. So nothing with el8. Is it really a big problem to get dovecot 2.3 to work on el9? I have the impression the differences between el8 and el9 are not so significant. For now the srpms I tried from el8 seem ok to compile on el9.
There are some stuff that we rather fix for 2.4 than 2.3. I am aware of a patch for TLS code in Dovecot that redhat uses.
This 2.4 will have this director removed not?
Yes.
