Hello,

As being a long time user of dovecot for my mail servers, i thought i'd contribute a little something - Dovecot Ubuntu PPA packages :

https://launchpad.net/~n-bochev/+archive/ppa

The packages are taken straight from Stephan Bosch's debian repository. For now the process of downloading and uploading the sources to the Ubuntu ppa is handled by me, but i am writing a script to do it automaticly each time there is a new version out. There's nothing changed in the sources apart from adding a changelog entry about uploading the package to the PPA, thus the whole credit goes to Timo and Stephan.

The main reason behind this is i got tired of compiling the package on amd64 arch's everytime and since i mostly use amd64 and Ubuntu on my servers i figured it would make my life easier. Currently only Jaunty builds are provided, but if there is interest i will backport to Intrepid/Hardy.

I hope those packages make life easier for someone, and thanks Timo for this great piece of software :)

A few days later than I wanted, but here it is.

• Mailbox names with control characters can't be created anymore. Existing mailboxes can still be accessed though.

• Allow namespace prefix to be opened as mailbox, if a mailbox already exists in the root dir.

• Maildir: dovecot-uidlist was being recreated every time a mailbox was accessed, even if nothing changed.
• listescape plugin was somewhat broken
• Compiling fixes for non-Linux/BSDs
• imap: tb-extra-mailbox-sep workaround was broken.
• ldap: Fixed hang when >128 requests were sent at once.
• fts_squat: Fixed crashing when searching virtual mailbox.
• imap: Fixed THREAD .. INTHREAD crashing.
