Bug#696926: dovecot update breaks with tcpwrap
Package: dovecot-core Version: 1:2.1.7-6 Severity: grave Hello, the new version 1:2.1.7-6 lacks support for tcpwrappers. Despite the mention in the NEWS file, it does not contain a /usr/lib/dovecot/tcpwrap and is obviously not compiled with tcpwrap support: dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=epoll notify=inotify ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192 Mail storages: shared mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir imapc pop3c raw SQL driver plugins: mysql postgresql sqlite Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap(plugin) nss passwd prefetch passwd-file sql This breaks existing installations, as it even fails to install. Thanks for fixing it. Bye, Joerg signature.asc Description: Digital signature

This is on purpose. Jaldhar, I guess the mention of tcp wrapper support in NEWS.Debian should go away though. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Jaldhar, I guess the mention of tcp wrapper support Can you please add a bit of explanation what would be bad about tcpwrapper support? It does not hurt, adds 10k to the package, and in case of dovecot needs to be explicitly enabled in the configuration. Besides, silently breaking existing installation on upgrade without mentioning is a bug, not a wishlist item. Bye, Joerg signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I don't know that it doesn't hurt, and don't want to go read the code to find out. Besides, silently breaking existing installation on upgrade without mentioning is a bug, not a wishlist item. You're running unstable, you can deal with breakage. It's mentioned both in the package changelog and in http://www.braincells.com/debian/index.cgi/search/item=285 Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It's a new feature, and as such not appropriate during a freeze. I I have to apologize, I just noticed I compiled my own version with tcpwrappers enabled. As such, wishlist is appropriate. Sorry for the confusion. don't know that it doesn't hurt, and don't want to go read the code to find out. I am a bit surprised that tcpwrappers are not common knowledge around network daemons. Anyway, I would encourage reading, the code is really small. You're running unstable, you can deal with breakage. It's mentioned JFTR, I am following testing, which dovecot entered recently. So I am looking forward to a native debian package. Happy new year anyway! Bye, Joerg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
