[Dovecot] Debian packages for dovecot 1.1.x
Because I'm tired of seeing Debian users look like idiots for using such horribly out of date versions just because they run "stable", I've set up a page with .deb packages of my 1.1.x rebuilds for use under lenny.

If you really mean 'lenny', this won't help much. Stable is still etch, and if you build them under lenny, probably the versions of libraries that dovecot uses are not available in etch.

These are for whatever the current stable is. Whatever the case, they are the real packages I use on "stable" installs because there's nothing on backports and the rc versions in stable are useless to me. They were linked against "stable".

Ah, I see why you are confused, probably this sentence:
"These are simply repackages from lenny that will work on etch."
I mean that I used the lenny source and compiled/linked it under etch and built packages from that. As it says, it "will work on etch". I'm not stupid enough to take lenny binaries and say they'll work under etch.

Sorry I'm retarded; I meant to say these packages are for use under etch aka the current "stable". Carry on.

Hi Seth,
thanks you for the work.
However are you absolutley positive these .debs are built for the
current stable Debian 4.0 "etch"?
Just tried to install them on a etch vm (openvz). They dont install.
The errors indicates the packages are actually build against "lenny"
aka unstable.

I even tried a force install, but that come back with a nasty error.

My mistake; the i368 versions are different than the amd64 versions (I use 64 bit systems, so the 64 bit packages are be OK). I don't have a proper build host for i386 handy at the moment.

Nevermind. I was able to build v1.1.8 for i368 from the "experimental"
sources against "etch" myself now.
Had to use dpkg-buildpackage -d to circumvent the dependency on a
newer drac-dev, not available in etch.
They install ok, have to test them now.

The updated drac-dev can be installed in the same manner and removed after build. I'm actually surprised that testing might go with 1.0.15 rather than a 1.1.x build. It sure would eliminate a lot of the "I'm using Debian and blah doesn't work - oh - I didn't realize it was old."
