Re: Debian Bookworm packages, please !

for anyone interested, for dovecot v2.3.14+ @ Fedora,

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dovecot/blob/rawhide/f/dovecot-2.3.14-opensslv3.patch

afaics, _not_ submitted to upstream ...

rpm -qa | grep dovecot-2

dovecot hums along nicely. i've not seen a _crash_ in _many_ moons (quick looking thru ~ 18mos of logs) ...

that said, our usage is undoubtedly lighter than many a large enterprise. and Fedora's not going to work for everyone.
