Hello, we have a centos 6 server running dovecot 2.0 provided with the OS, currently 2.0.9. We would like to upgrade to the 2.2.19 package provided by the mailserver.guru repo. I read the upgrading docs for 2.1 and 2.2 and found the following issues:
2.0 - 2.1:
- define namespace inbox or delete 15-mailboxes.conf (we do not "care about special use mailboxes")
- plugins and UTF-8: we do not use one of the listed plugins
- to allow mixed usernames set auth_username_format to "nothing"
- solr backend: not used in our setup
- expire plugin: not used
- dsync: not used 2.1 - 2.2
- fts-solr: not used (?)
- autocreate: not used
- other changes: trivial or not used
Are there other things that we need to observe? Is a direct update from 2.0.9 to 2.2.19 feasible with the above precautions or do we need to put in a 2.1 version in between?
Thank you for hints, Jakob

I would also consider possibility of upgrading the server too, so you would instead setup a new environment and migrate your users there instead of upgrading the old server. This way you could make sure everything works.

Well, then I have a different problem because in this way I upgrade the complete environment to eg. CentOS 7 and will need to test a plethora of other things. I'd rather stick to the current system (which ist not "old", just the dovecot package in CentOS 6 is "old").
Ok so no other problems known?
Regards, Jakob

Why upgrade to such an old version? You can get 2.2.27 (2.2.28 in testing) packages from GhettoForge plus:

Ah, still better. I just want to upgrade to a package that is available from maintained repos, so that is good news for me.
Thx, Jakob
