T h a t ' s p r e t t y c o o l !
I knew if I waited long enough something like that upgrader would
appear. Thanks Aki!
It converted to 1077 lines of 2.4.x config text, and I'm sure over 90%
of that is just default stuff. The main thing is, assuming the
converter's syntax is right, I can use it as a syntax guide.
When I get 2.4.2 up on my VM, I can do dovecot -n to see the
non-default lines, and make a much shorter config based on that.
I have two specific questions from the converted config:
1. "dovecot_storage_version = 2.4.0" : What does that do, and why is it
needed?
See
[3]https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/summaries/settings.html#dovecot_storage_version
2. "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes" : What does that do and what
happens if I set it to "no", and what is its default?
See
