I'm running 0.99.10.5 on a Mac OS X 10.2.8 system (Darwin 6.8) and I get these errors in the log:

May 27 12:20:44 dluke imap(dluke): mmap_istream.madvise(): Invalid argument

I can edit the generated config.h and undef HAVE_MADVISE, but 10.2 is supposed to have a working madvise(). I took a quick look at the dovecot code, but I don't see anything obviously incorrect.

Any suggestions on what to look for? (I could provide a non-root account on the machine if someone wants access to test.)

Thanks.

Are you pushing these downstream to the Fedora group? And are you on the package CC list for the Fedora Bugzilla?

This hit the SpamAssassin Developer list yesterday:

------------ Forwarded Message ------------ Date: Thursday, May 20, 2004 5:06 PM -1000 From: Warren Togami <wtogami@redhat.com> To: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: SA Devel for Fedora Core

Any spamassassin developers interested in being automatically added to all new spamassassin bugs that are reported for Fedora Core at bugzilla.redhat.com? Developers from other upstream projects like gaim have become involved with FC in this way. It has proven to be a win for both the upstream and downstream projects, as the developers often KNOW the majority of problems instantly, alert us to existing patches for the package, or even simply close stupid user reports. Otherwise they have the option of removing themselves from the CC if they simply are not interested. [1]

Any volunteers, developers or even power-users, can help as liasons to the Fedora Project. Your software is important to our distribution, so fostering communication with upstream development and making sure patches go both ways is important.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123710 This is a problem tracker for spamassassin 3.0's snapshots in FC rawhide that should be solved before the release of FC3. FC3 development will expose spamassassin 3.0 snapshots and later pre-releases to thousands of additional testers, with the goal of improving the quality of both SA 3.0 and FC3.

[1] Three upstream gaim developers are automatically added to all FC gaim bugs. As the result of the gaim partnership, several bugs were quickly killed in upstream CVS, and the FC2 package has been polished, exposing CVS fixes to wide user testing before the next upstream release. (This has even been instrumental in preventing one regression from reaching gaim-0.78, after Gentoo stole a Fedora CVS backport and they noticed an extremely subtle breakage.) As the result of this successful partnership, there are current ZERO open FC gaim bugs.

• MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer
• --with-moduledir configure option

• mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags
• mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug.
• Custom flags couldn't be unset
• Maildir: make sure ":2," is appended to filename when moving mails from new/ to cur/.
• Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely
• Maildir: RENAME xx inbox.xx didn't result as uppercased ".INBOX.xx" directory which then couldn't be accessed
• Don't crash with RAND_bytes() error messages anymore. This mostly happened with Fedora/RedHat.

I just uploaded Debian packages to unstable. I've enabled mysql support and openssl (Timo: I still owe you the gnutls10 patch but I've been insanely busy recently.)

I intend to provide a woody backport but as I'm going to need to use some other backported packages, I shall probably upload it to http://www.backports.org/ rather than http://src.braincells.com/ I'll keep this list and the wiki updated.

Timo: does this release fix any of the outstanding Debian bugs? Especially #225408?

And If any Debian dovecot users would like to go through the bug list and see if there are any that can be closed, I would appreciate it. The URL is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=dovecot

Hi Timo and list,

Does this release work safely over NFS with maildir? I saw an email about rc2 for nfs + mbox, which seemed to work (apart from some small dotlock warnings)?

Will it work with indexes on disk too?

Thanks,

Kind regards,
