Hi,
we are currently using Dovecot 2.2 (from the Ubuntu 18.04 repos) and would like to migrate to 2.3
I have read the migration documentation regarding the configuration changes. Apart from that, is it feasible/possible to change from Ubuntu to official Dovecot repositories and upgrade the dovecot package this way?
Or is there anything else we should be aware of?
Best regards Markus

This is what I did. After upgrading from Ubuntu 18 to Ubuntu 20, I added the dovecot APT repo and installed from there. It all went smoothly, and the migration notes were sufficient.
At some point I will upgrade that system to Ubuntu 22, but I will be waiting until all the PHP webapps I am using are upgraded to support PHP 8.1. If you use a lot of PHP apps, the upgrade from PHP 7.4 in Ubuntu 20 to PHP 8.1 in Ubuntu 22 is probably going to break at least one of them. App developers are not adjusting to PHP 8.x very quickly.
For the gurus: Is there an expected ballpark release date for 2.4 and/or 3.0?
Thanks, Shawn

I believe there is no Dovecot APT repo for Ubuntu 22 (yet) https://repo.dovecot.org/

Very true. I believe I read somewhere that there will not be a Dovecot 2.3 repo for jammy, but there will be one for 2.4 when it is released.
Thanks, Shawn
