Hi,
sorry for the dumb question and please ignore this post if you think it's far beyond; i know it's not the way to go, but for reasons ...
Has anyone running a self compiled recent dovecot (2.2.36.4) on Debian-7 and does it work? Or thinks it should work.
Surprisingly it actually compiles flawlessly on Debian-7, but i wonder wether it will become a complete mess replacingthe existing dovecot (2.1.7) with the new one, serving a few dozens users and any kind of mail clients.
Libraries of the compiled Dovecot: $ ldd ./src/master/.libs/dovecot linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffeacfb1000) libdovecot.so.0 => /usr/local/00-DBAI/dovecot/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 (0x00007f557b2a9000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f557af1c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f557ad18000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f557ab10000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f557b5dc000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f557a8f4000)
