;-) I never ever built a rpm using sources since years. I always build and install from the sources
a good time to start again :-)
i missed to tell another benefit: you have to specify every installed file in the %files section, so you are aware of changes in any folder-structure, as long it builds wtihout complaining with a new source-version you can be pretty sure all is sane
this time virtualization is a real improvement
- build packages outside production environment
- provide local repos in the own LAN
- setup testing machins with real data
- test upgrades with real data
in this life i will never ever setup a server on bare metal without having VMware ESXi as backend (clone, snapshots..)
I have that beast running. There was an entry in the docecot.conf like this, created by doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > /home/mail1/dovecot-2.conf
protocol imap { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }
I commented it out and I can retrieved mail furthermore. :-) Now I want to install dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.1 to get sieve running.
Thank you everybody for the help and that great piece of software!
