[Dovecot] Dovecot in OpenBSD ports system
Hi
I have put together dovecot port for the OpenBSD ports system. The port has yet to be submitted, but is finished awaiting testing from a wider audience. I have been using dovecot successfully on OpenBSD/sparc64 -current for months now with no problems.
Would you recommend including the CR+LF patch?

Actually I'd recommend 0.99.10 if I just could get it released.. :) There's -test6 now at http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/ which looks like it's working fine. Maybe just a few last changes and that'd be it.

I've run into some probelms with maildirs. I have been testing by dumping my email archives into the server and I have come across 'Warning: Inconsistency - Index <index> was rebuilt while we had it open' leading to the the wrong body being returned when the header is selected. Eventually the child server process dies.
I have had no problems with mboxes
Should I wait for the next release and try again? Is this problem limited to my plaform?
The client was sylpheed-claws.

What version of Dovecot was this with? OpenBSD had similiar problem which I've fixed in -test releases. The problem with it was that I was write()ing to file that was mmaped, and OpenBSD didn't update the mmap when it was done.

Yes, I found the error message in mail_index_lock_change() in mail-index.c and mmap_update() in mail_index_data.c, I changed one of the strings so I could differentiate them and it was mmap_update() where the error was detected.
I had the problems with 0.99.8.1 and 0.99.9.1
I will try -test

PS to you have URLs for -test tarballs (as they are not linked to on the website) or must I check the source out with CVS?

Sorry, found the test tarballs.
0.99.10-test6 is looking very good, no problems with OpenBSD so far and much much faster than cyrus-imapd importing my messages.
When 0.99.10 comes out I will aim to get it in OpenBSD ports tree. In the meanwhile I will continue to beat on the -test releases to see if I can break them.
