I know how to run a second instance of the *base* code (to check different functionality/config) and documented it in http://wiki.dovecot.org/RunningDovecot
What I realize I don't know how to do is to run an altogether different
version or build of the code as that second instance, which would be
good to have to check out upgrades before they go into production.
While I could do a build in the regular fashion and put DC somewhere
else or name it something else, so I could invoke this different code,
presumably that different code will still look for the subsidiary
executables in the usual place. Do I have to change the DESTDIR parm
when doing the make install or some such?
I do realize that, just as I did with running a second instance of the *same* code, I'd have to change the config file, have a separate /var/run directory......
