[dovecot] dovecot RPM for Red Hat Linux
http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=160
This .src.rpm is dovecot with RH-specific default settings. I modified Jeremy Katz' dovecot-0.99.8.1 package a bit. When I upgraded from 0.99.8.1 it seemed to be broken until I looked at /var/log/maillog. There it indicated that the dovecot cache files were bad, so I erased /home/*/mail/.imap/ and it seemed to work subsequently.
There are a few more RH specific tweaks that I plan on doing for this package. If you have any suggestions to default config tweaks for this package please reply or post in that bugzilla entry above. I would like for this package to be a drop-in replacement for RHL's uw-imapd eventually, but there are a number of migration issues that need to be addressed first. This package will eventually be included in the Fedora tree after it goes through our QA.

p.s. Keep up the good work. I absolutely love dovecot!

This .src.rpm is dovecot with RH-specific default settings. I modified Jeremy Katz' dovecot-0.99.8.1 package a bit.
I ran into and fixed a few packaging problems listed below, but the last two I'm not exactly sure how to fix. Any suggestions?
One problem within /etc/init.d/dovecot
start() {
# Check if pxe is already running
if [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/dovecot ]; then
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
/usr/sbin/dovecot &
[ -n "pidofproc /usr/sbin/dovecot" ] && success
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/dovecot
echo
fi
}
This line "/usr/sbin/dovecot &" executes in the background, but the next line "[
-n "pidofproc /usr/sbin/dovecot" ] && success" happens too soon, causing a non
zero return value and a FAILED message during bootup. I confirmed this by
adding "sleep 5" between the two lines, giving it enough time to startup
completely before testing for the pid. It no displays the fake FAILED message
during bootup. What should be the proper fix for this?
RH init script problem
Another problem happens during RH's init scripts after you reboot. By default dovecot uses /var/run/dovecot/login/ as a directory to create unix sockets for login. RH's init script displays an error messages when I tries to remove /var/run/*/* files because it is a directory, not a file. I changed dovecot's default to /var/run/dovecot and it now avoids this error.
chkconfig problem
[root@goku log]# chkconfig --list |grep dovecot dovecot 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [root@goku log]# chkconfig dovecot on [root@goku log]# chkconfig --list |grep dovecot dovecot 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off The init.d and rc.d stuff seems to have problems, I haven't analyzed this yet.
Service name problem
During startup it says "5dovecot: Starting Dovecot Imap:" I'm not sure why it says "5dovecot" rather than "dovecot". Any ideas?

Warren, why are you using pidofproc and success yourself ? Red Hat has the infrastructure that takes care of this. I have never have to use these myself.
You could take a look at my sysv-script in my SPEC file. I always embed these files in the SPEC file so that the path-macros affect the sysv-script too.
There I simply do:
start() {
echo -n \$"Starting \$prog: "
daemon \$prog
RETVAL=\$?
echo
touch %{_localstatedir}/lock/subsys/\$prog
return \$RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n \$"Shutting down \$prog: "
killproc \$prog
RETVAL=\$?
echo
rm -f %{_localstatedir}/lock/subsys/\$prog
return \$RETVAL
}Any suggestions to this are welcomed.

It probably has to do with the chkconfig headers in your sysv-script.

Rather make a new directory for it, eg. /var/run/dovecot-login. Currently it's not that important, but it might change in future. Or actually I think it breaks if Dovecot is started via inetd, because it creates a socket in /var/run/dovecot which would conflict with auth sockets.
