Hello all, it is strange, but Dovecot 2.x still didn't make it into Debian (not even backports). It exists in testing, but that's still a long wait. OTOH there are official packages built every day (referenced from the download page). This puzzles me: why isn't there a build created from each stable, released version of Dovecot, so that users of Debian Stable could benefit from the new version, and run it on production environment? Could you (I mean — the Dovecot team) provide such packages? This wouldn't require any major amount of work, since you already have daily builds produced. You would just have to run that building system once per each released version and keep it available for download.
The reason for this is relatively simple: I'm about to implement a new mail server, and I'd like to keep to Debian Stable while using Dovecot 2.x. This will make future updates much easier, as I won't have to face 1.2 -> 2.0 migration on a production system.
