RPMs for Fedora and RHEL/CentOS
Hi
Link on http://www.dovecot.org/download.html for RPMs for Fedora and RHEL/CentOS is not working. It seams that atrpms repo is dead for some time now
Can you please update this and suggest me alternative trusted repo with newest dovecot packages for RHEL/CentOS?

I am currently not aware of any trustable and public community repository with the newest Dovecot versions for CentOS 5/6/7
However, if you want to support Dovecot development then you may should get a subscription of Dovecot and if you don't want to pay anything, then you'll still have the possibility to build a RPM of Dovecot yourself.
Just head over to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?order=-id&terms=dovecot%&type=build&match=glob and get from there your prefered src.rpm and rebuild it for CentOS 7.

Hi Michael,
thx for suggestion. Yeah, it would be cool just to rebuild Fedora
package for RHEL 7, but unfortunately I need dovecot for RHEL 6 :
I found few repos that have newer version, then that in offical repo,
but trustworthy is very important here.
Thanks

Hi
you don't have to worry, because all the Fedora Dovecot src.rpms - to be precise, the spec files - also include RHEL 6 macros and the FC src.rpms also contain init service files, so in general it would be possible to rebuild Dovecot 2.2.21 as a RPM also for RHEL/CentOS 6 and by comparing the ghettoforge src.rpms with FC src.rpms they are looking pretty much identical - well ok, perhaps except some minor rebaseing.
So, the only thing - if you should decide to rebuild the FC src.rpm - that you later have to take care of is to alter the ssl_cipher_list value back to RHEL 6/7 defaults or whatever cipher list you desire.

Hi
thx a lot Michael, I will try to play with it a little and try to rebuild it, just to make some comparisons, but at the end I'll probably use the one from Ghetto
Thanks

Dovecot and Open-Xchange have merged some while ago.
https://software.open-xchange.com/products/dovecot/doc/Dovecot-EE-repository...

I am pretty happy with the ghettoforge repository.
http://ghettoforge.org/index.php/Main_Page
Peter Ajamian maintains the dovecot package and always is pretty up to date when new releases appear.
Don't be confused: dovecot is available through gf-plus as dovecot22 packages to prevent collisions with what RHEL / CentOS provide as their dovecot package. Latest sits still in gf-testing but can be moved to gf-plus as it's properly packaged and installs and runs fine.
Thank you
Alexander
Hi Alexander,
thank you for your suggestion. Ghettoforge repo looks good. I tried it earlier, but saw only 2.2.19 on Plus repo, totaly missed Testing repo and the latest version in it :)
Btw, I ran into http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/yum-repo/ who also have latest dovecot packages, among other things, so I was wondering if you or anyone else knows something about this repo and his maintainers reputation, how trustworthy and reliable is it.
Thanks
