Hi Guys,
I'm using CentOS 4.5, is the dovecot default rpm comes with mysql support? Do I need to rebuild it?
TIA.

Hi Jan,
You need to rebuild it, without any patches or so... Just enable mysql and LDA support in the .spec and don't forget to edit yum.conf and exclude=postfix*.
Hi Bazy,
Sigh.. that's what I'm afraid of, anyways, I tried rebuilding it using dovecot-1.0.7-0_63.src.rpm however I keep on getting this
# rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/dovecot.spec
"Unknown tag error in line 1" %bcond_without inotify <--- line 1
I already tried adding --without inotify switch with same result. Googling around told me that the option is only available on the 2.6.13 kernel and above, the CentOS4 kernel is only 2.6.9. Any ideas how to resolve this?
I ran into the same problem on CentOS 4.5. It's not the 'inotify' part that's causing that error message. It's the %bcond_without. See the wiki (Building your own rpms) for how to add those macros. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#line-54
After those RPM macros are installed, you also need to add --without inotify:
rpmbuild --without inotify -bb /path/to/dovecot.spec
I didn't have to add anything regarding 'quota'. (This was with 1.0.1 a while ago, though. YMMV.)
Best, Ben
Finally I was able to rebuild it by adding a file called /etc/rpm/macros.atrpms with the following contents:
%bcond_with() %{expand:%%{?_with_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}} %bcond_without() %{expand:%%{!?_without_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}} %with() %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:1}%%{!?with_%{1}:0}} %without() %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:0}%%{!?with_%{1}:1}}
Then run:
# rpmbuild --without inotify -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/dovecot.spec
Then started dovecot , but encountered an error during startup
[root@mail ~]# /etc/init.d/dovecot start Starting Dovecot Imap: Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 21: Unknown setting: imap_listen Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf [FAILED]
I then changed imap_listen to localhost and * respectively but still have the same error. I'm lost. :(
