I'm planning to upgrade using the instructions found at dovecot's wiki. On http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/ it is offered in 3 different versions:
- dovecot 1..0.15-1_73.el4
- dovecot 1.1.19-1_96.el4
- dovecot 1.2.5-0_100.el4
I have a separated test system, where I'll test upgrading from 0.99 to final selected version, to discover any possible gotchas found while upgrading.
Two questions:
- Which version is the recommended to upgrade? I'd like stability and as little problems as possible over anything else, as we have a simple set up.
1.1.19 is the guaranteed-working version. I think v1.2.5 is fine too if you don't use quota (due to a stupid bug that causes it to crash).
- What is the preferred upgrade method? straight upgrade? (099 -> rpm -Fvh dovecot-1.2 ? Or upgrading one release at a time? (0.99 > 1.0 > 1.1 ...)
Since you're using mbox, I think 0.99 -> 1.1 or 1.2 is fine.
