Hallo Everyone,
since some days a new dovecot version is available in Debian
"wheezy-backports": (1:2.2.9-1~bpo70+1) wheezy-backports
As described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib and
http://www.dovecot.org/doc/NEWS-2.2 "xz"-compression is available since
Dovecot version 2.2.9.
Today I tried to convert my mailboxes with the new xz compression.
Therfore I changed my config as follows:
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf:
# Space separated list of plugins to load for all services. Plugins
specific to IMAP, LDA, etc. are added to this list in their own .conf files.
mail_plugins = zlib acl fts fts_solr
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf:
# Enable these only if you want compression while saving:
zlib_save_level = 9 # 1..9
zlib_save = xz # gz or bz2 or xy
Now I tried to convert my mailboxes - but somehow, something goes wrong:
root@SERVER:/# dovecot --version
2.2.9
root@SERVER:/# dsync mirror mdbox:/srv/converted_vmail/
doveadm(root): Error: zlib_save: Support not compiled in for handler: xz
dsync(root): Error: zlib_save: Support not compiled in for handler: xz
Where is the failure?
Did the packet maintainer forget to activate xz?
I can't find anything xz related in the debian package changelog:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/d/dovecot/dovecot_2.2.9-1~bpo70+1_changelog
Should I contact the Debian packet maintainer?

Best regards
