Is there a specific reason why there are (still) no el9 packages? https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3.17/centos/ https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/rhel/

Because 2.3 still does not support RHEL9. It will be added for 2.4.

Oh shit, I did not expect there was such a huge dependency on the os for dovecot. I have already removed some old test el8 stuff and upgrading from el7 to el9. So nothing with el8. Is it really a big problem to get dovecot 2.3 to work on el9? I have the impression the differences between el8 and el9 are not so significant. For now the srpms I tried from el8 seem ok to compile on el9.
This 2.4 will have this director removed not?

There are some stuff that we rather fix for 2.4 than 2.3. I am aware of a patch for TLS code in Dovecot that redhat uses.

Yes.

Sad, had planed to migrate my dovecot cluster (2x director 2x IMAP from 2.2.36 (CentOS 7) to 2.4 (AlmaLinux 9, when 2.4 is released).
So, does anyone already built a STABLE(!) alternative for director?
@Aki: Is dovecot IMAP 2.4 expected to still work with dovecot director 2.2 (or 2.3)? In this case I may just upgrade the IMAP Servers and leave the director/loadbalancer servers for some time.
In general: Is the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 or 2.4. smooth or are there a lot of breaking changes and the upgrade would have to be planend thoroughly?
thanks, Steven

See my previous post to this thread.
The Ghettoforge packages are the latest stable (2.3) version of dovecot and are built against CentOS for EL7 and Rocky Linux for EL8 and EL9. The EL9 packages will run just fine on Alma Linux. This includes director.
I would encourage you to give it a try on a test machine and if it has any issues let me know.
