Those are my packages. I try to track each release, and bug fixed.
But since those are mine, I'm really concerned with stability as it
affects my enviroment. Mainly mdbox/maildir with gzip, at this present
time.
If someone lets me know of any issues, I will fix and adjust for it,
but I'm not doing full scale stability testing. It's just the straight
ubuntu package, with it swapped out for 2.2.24+fixes, and other
adjustments as needed.
I do consider them stable enough for other people to use, but again,
your at my mercy. (But these are what I use on my production systems so)
As far as the init scripts goes, it's the same as what the dovecot
packages as shipped by ubuntu for 16.04 does it. I have not looked
into it much myself yet, other than it functions. I only have one
16.04 dovecot system currently.
Quoting Heiko Schlittermann hs@schlittermann.de:
Hi,
Peter Chiochetti pch@myzel.net (Di 31 Mai 2016 10:31:50 CEST):
Not having installed any of the two, I can say, as a Ubuntu user: In ppa "/etc/init.d/dovecot" is a symlink to "/lib/init/upstart-job"
The 2.2.24 on 16.04 installs both
/etc/init.d/dovecot /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.serviceWhile xi packages places its own init script there.
The xi packages I didn't check yet.
