Personally, I consider 2.1.x more of a risk then 1.2 so I'm sticking with 1.2.17 until there is an urgent and compelling reason to move to 2.1, that's much the same attitude with other admins I speak to on IRC. [snip]
i have added 1.2.17 to fidonet overlay if others like to keep it in funtoo/gentoo, and i agree dont remove it just becurse of policy
Noel are you using gentoo/funtoo or another problem ?
Nope, all severs are slackware (and I dont have any problem which was my point in earlier thread, no reason why 1.2.17 can't still be suitable for years to come) used to have some gentoo as well, but phased them out to keep everything uniform, and desktops are almost now all opensuse, and once ubuntu stop supporting 10.04 those couple will be converted to opensuse as well (and thats only "then" because I'm too lazy to do it "now" LOL)
I build from sources all key daemon software anyway, package maintainers can only account for so many configurations. Its not so critical with dovecot now since v2, because, regrettably, Timo removed a lot of fine tune config options that allowed us to only build in what we wanted, now, tuff, most the auth methods and stuff must be built even if we dont want them.
But if we absolutely must need a new feature that is in 2.1.x and we can no longer live without it, then and only then will I consider moving to it, otherwise, I'm happy to sit on 1.2 until I consider 2.1 mature and stable enough.
