Hi list, Does anybody have some notes/blog post/etc about building dovecot deb packages?

If this is ment to be used on your box you can easily accomplish this by using "checkinstall". Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall and http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/trusty/checkinstall for more information.

In regards to this post. This is something that has been troubling me for a looong time.

List / Timo , have you checked this out ? :

https://nixos.org/nix/

They claim that is portable between distros and doesn't touch each distros' package manager and can also roll-back versions.

I've been struggling with CentOS 7 and Ubuntu versions for the last eight years and it seems really tempting.

At the moment, I don't have the time or stamina to pursue this. Some feedback on this would be really, really nice :-)
