If you want to run Dovecot on Debian Lenny for a Production System (with Fast Upgrade System for Security Patches), What would you recommend?
Stick to the current port with Dovecot Version 1.0.15 (1:1.0.15-2.3) This version is ancient. The last release is 13 months old. Many bugs have been fixed since then. Definitely not recommended.
Use Backports Version 1.1.13 (1:1.1.13-2~bpo50+1) With lack of a better packaged alternative I would recommend this one. Dovecot v1.2.1 is already in Debian unstable, so it may end up in testing and backports earlier than we think (i hope so).
or Use any of the packages from:
Dovecot v1.1 for Debian Testing (binary and source):
deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main
Dovecot v1.2 for Debian Testing (binary and source):
deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main
As the WIKI states: do *NOT* use these packages for systems that need to be *STABLE*! This is rebuilt every hour from repository commits from Timo and myself and if/when one of us commits a mistake, your setup will break accordingly upon upgrade. This is for testing purposes only.
