This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Update the Dovecot email server in Fedora from Dovecot 2.3.x to Dovecot 2.4.x, the newest major release. == Owner == * Name: [[User:mhlavink| Michal Hlavinka]] * Email: mhlavink[at]redhat[dot]com == Detailed Description == Update the Dovecot email server in Fedora from Dovecot 2.3.x to Dovecot 2.4.x. This is the latest major release that upstream released after 7 years. Dovecot 2.3 and 2.4 configuration is not mutually compatible. Configuration upgrade process is documented at details see https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.0/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == With Dovecot 2.4 release, upstream shifted its support from 2.3.x to 2.4. Updating Dovecot in Fedora will allow to continue providing mail server that is secure, actively developed and maintained. List of changes and improvements at https://github.com/dovecot/core/releases/tag/2.4.0 == Scope == * Proposal owners: - update dovecot rpm to 2.4, port downstream patches, testing * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Dovecot 2.4.x configuration is not compatible with 2.3.x configuration. Configuration changes and upgrade procedure is documented at https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html == Early Testing (Optional) == Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N == How To Test == * if you already have dovecot installed 1. backup 2. update dovecot rpm 3. update dovecot configuration as described https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html 4. test that everything still works == User Experience == Updated Dovecot 2.4.x provides more currently relevant security features and protocols. Easier configuration and deployment. == Dependencies == NONE == Contingency Plan == Worst case scenario, we can easily revert the change and delay for the next Fedora release. * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
