Timo's software standards, and mine, are higher than the average open source project. When an install id done right then you don't have to go to the wiki for anything. You run it and it just works. That's why people pay for Windows and Macs and more people use it than Linux because it just works. You start an upgrade anf click NEXT AGREE NEXT NEXT NEXT FINISH and everything just works. That's the way Linux should be.
So - even though something might be a minor detail, when you get the minor details right then you get software the "it just works" which is in my opinion the highest thing one can say about a program. And it's who dovecot is so popular.
hey Marc, you're not alone !!! As well as you, i also expect software updates to be always perfect and magic .... so i dont have to have a clue of what i'm real doing, as softwares will take care of all the inteligence that i should have.
but, i think different from you, i understand and accept that there's no magic.
upgrades on complex environment MUST be planned, new version features should be understood and in almost all cases, including some M$ updates of complex software/ environment, lots of pre-upgrade and post-upgrades actions should be taken.
i would love to just click yes yes and everything works as magic .... but, unfortunelly, i accept that wont happen in the real (and most all the times complex) scenarios we have.
