List, good evening, just installed a new Debian Stable (Wheezy).  The 
Debian Stable repositories now include Dovecot 2.1.7 as standard.  I 
haven't installed that because I wanted to try 2.2.x on this new clean 
install but unsure which 'pool' to use in the xi.rename-it.nl 
repository of autobuilds.

Wheezy became Stable on May 5, just a few days ago.  I'm not sure 
whether to still follow the advice in the wiki for obtaining 2.2.x for 
Wheezy, which (understandably, because the new Debian Stable release 
has been so very recent) continues to refer to Wheezy as 'testing'.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages

Presumably, the packages in the 'testing' autobuild system pick up 
Debian's 'testing' pool libraries (or assume them to exist) and these 
may no longer be the ones needed for Wheezy because Wheezy is 
'Stable', in Debian-speak.

Does anyone know, for sure, which autobuild pool to now use for 2.2.x 
for Wheezy?

or

http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/

2.2.x in 'stable-auto' doesn't seem to have changed since before 
Wheezy was released, whereas 2.2.x has changed in 'testing-auto', and 
I'm not sure what to make of that.  Stephan does suggest that queries 
be directly written to him, but I posted here because I thought I 
might not be the only person who was unsure.

I'd be grateful for any advice,

regards, Ron
