Not sure if this is what you are looking for... But the following link has lots of rpms for dovecot aarch64 / arm64.

They do all say [dovecot-devel...[]] so I’m not sure if they are stable versions or something else (requirements for development) ??

It’s hard to tell when using my phone as the screen is much too small !

Hey, I really appreciate Dovecot being available with standard repos in repo.dovecot.org. I'm currently using the "CentOS 7" one on Amazon Linux 2 and it works great for x86_64.

I'm wondering if there are any plans for also providing arm builds (aarch64) at some point? Or if they're available somewhere else already? I may play around with compiling things myself, but just downloading an official package is generally the easier way to go so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

It won't help you for CentOS, but the Debian project includes Arm64 (AKA aarch64) as one of their standard supported processor architectures and dovecot is one of their many standard supported packages. eg:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/dovecot-core

Is Arm64/aarch64 an official supported architecture in CentOS? If so I would look in the standard repositories for dovecot packages. If not then I would suggest that it is not a good idea to use an unsupported Disto/Arch combo unless you are very familiar with building everything from source.

Well, I'm actually on Amazon Linux 2, which is similar to (but isn't quite the same as) RHEL/CentOS 7. Dovecot *is* in the standard packages, but it's version 2.2.36-6.amzn2.1 and I was hoping to be on the latest Dovecot 2.3 (which is what I'm doing now on my x86_64 server by just adding repo.dovecot.org to my repo list). But maybe I should just stick with what's built-in as you suggest if I want to make my life easier.

I'm not afraid of building from source, and in fact am already working on doing that for Postfix. (And then I can get really crazy by trying to link it against Openssl 1.1.1 rather than the the 1.0.2 that's on the system by default.) I might just try building my own rpms (as a learning experience for myself if nothing else), but it looks like under the source RPMs in http://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/centos/7/SRPMS/2.3.11.3-4_ce/ it only has dovecot and dovecot-imaptest but not dovecot-pigeonhole, so it may be even more of an adventure than I thought.

Is the process that makes RPMs for the repo.dovecot.org site a part of the public Github somewhere? I can't find it there (though maybe I'm just not looking in the right place). I'd like to reference it at the very least if I could to see if I could replicate it for aarch64.

Thanks everybody for your thoughts!
