I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/
I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I didn't want anything to delay the package from entering the archive. That will be the next order of business.
The only bug I've seen so far is that when my mbox-format inbox was in /home/jaldhar/mail/inbox dovecot thought it ha 0 messages. It only showed up properly after I moved it back to /var/spool/mail/jaldhar but I suspect this is just a configuration error on my part.
