Hi Friedrich,
does anybody know, why dovecot 2.4 didn't make it into extra until now?
Couldn't find any info about it.
As mentioned in this thread, 2.4 comes with breaking changes to the
configuration. We haven't gotten around to migrating the configuration of our
own (archlinux.org) mail server, but I'm sure we will soon enough.
Thank you for the update,
Information like this is a critical heads up for those running Arch
in production servers. Much better to have lead-time to prepare, and the
smoothest transition possible than a business with a mail server dead in
the water due to config breakage in one of 100+ packages updated with a
pacman update.
Will use the lead-time to work out the new config -- hopefully
successfully.
