[Dovecot] dovecot 0.99.xx to 1.0-stable how-to?
I realize that there have been some big changes in features and configuration file settings between 0.99.xx and 1.0-stable, so when I went to perform an upgrade on our testing server, I carefully combed through the configuration files and matched up everything I could.
I fired up dovecot-1.0-stable and was pleased to see that it was happily running. I attempted to connect to it, and discovered that it wasn't listening to any ports.. then I realized that the app had crashed due to a typo in the config file (oops). Fixed that, started it up, and it was happily running and listening.
However, it wouldn't authenticate any users.. Backing down to the 0.99.14 version that we had installed allowed for authentication (against ldap) to work just fine..
Is there anything that I should be looking for within the dovecot-1.0-stable that is dramatically different in regards to user authentication?

Getting a few minutes old 1.0-stable would also be useful to avoid the mbox performance problems that I managed to put into it a few days ago :)

Here's something:

But I don't think there was supposed to be any LDAP changes. If you set auth_verbose = yes, what does it say the problem is?

Will 1.0-stable make it into Fedora Core 4? Current version there (in FC4T2) is 0.99.14-2.

I don't think 1.0-stable should replace 0.99.x installations because it lacks support for mail keywords. 1.0-tests will evolve into 1.0-alphas within next few months and they'll start real stabilization. Then we can hopefully finally get rid of 0.99.x.
Also the final v1.0 will have somewhat different configuration file (we'll see that in a few weeks) than 1.0-stable so I'd rather wait for that before everyone begins upgrading 0.99.x.

Although, you have to admit, the 0.99.x releases are now somewhat dated. I've been very pleased with the 1.0-stable releases..

I had been following the threads, so I was keeping my eye out for a stable "stable" release. :)

I discovered that the SPEC file that I used to build my RPM (after some minor modification to the SPEC file to properly handle the stable release numbers (date specific)) created imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s in /etc/pam.d, but didn't create a "dovecot" file (which is really all it needs). I symbolically linked dovecot to point to imap, restarted dovecot, and all was well.
I looked at the "Upgrade" link you pointed me to, specifically mentioning that the .subscriptions file had changed to "subscriptions" (minus the initial period).. I didn't have a chance to change mine before my latest tests, but all of my "subscribed" folders came up just fine. Odd..
