[Dovecot] updated ubuntu packages
I'd like to deploy an ubuntu-6.06 server running dovecot-1.0rc2 and postfix-2.3.0. Unfortunately, their dovecot packaging has not been recently updated:
dovecot-common-1.0.beta3-3ubuntu5.2 dovecot-imapd-1.0.beta3-3ubuntu5.2 dovecot-pop3d-1.0.beta3-3ubuntu5.2
postfix-2.2.10-1ubuntu0.1
I have 'universe' enabled. Does anyone know of an alternate repository for bleeding-edge dovecot and postfix packages?
As a debian/ubuntu newbie, I don't expect that rolling my own properly secure package is practical or advisable at this early stage. Thanks.
1.0RC2 is available on ubuntu edgy (the next release of ubuntu, currently in test)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/mail/dovecot-common
Postfix is 2.2.10 there too
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/mail/postfix
Just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to edgy instead of dapper, install the packages, then change back your sources.list.

You could also use APT pinning (or whatever it's called) to select some packages from edgy. I'm not sure how good of an idea that is. If nothing else, you could "apt-get source dovecot" (assuming the source package is "dovecot") from edgy and then rebuild on Dapper.

apt-pinning works perfectly well. Here is a good tutorial for Debian, which should apply 100% (except release names) to Ubuntu.
