Kind regards, Dewayne

PS dogfood is a peculiar term where, typically a supplier, uses what

when HP Management wanted to demonstrate to their external customers 
that they use the same services internally as supplied externally.

Dewayne and The,

The dovecot and pigeonhole ports for 2.3.1 and 0.5.1 are ready to go. 
Larry and I have been dogfooding them, and all the bugs I encountered 
in 2.3.0 seem to be fixed now.


I’m waiting for the next quarterly branch (4 days) and then the ports 
will be committed. If you’d like to use them before then, you can grab 
them at https://people.freebsd.org/~adamw/dovecot-2.3.1.tar.gz


If you encounter any problems, please do let us know!

There’s a pkg-message and there’ll be an UPDATING entry, but it bears 
repeating here too: read https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 
 for some of the potentially 
breaking changes. Merge the changes from the 2.3 conf files 
carefully---Dovecot 2.3 will most likely fail to start with unmodified 
2.2 conf files. I copied the 2.3 conf files anew and recreated my 
setup, and you might consider doing the same thing.


Thanks Adam! I am running 2.3.1/0.5.1 now. Upgrade was smoot - in my 
simple setup it amounted to this:


-ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
-ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL
+ssl_dh   =

Thanks Dewayne,

Dogfooding is why 2.3 wasn't committed. Larry didn't have problems with the  
upgrade, but I ran into a number of them on my own server, including some  
showstoppers (especially one that caused all incoming attachments to get  
mangled).


I have every intention of committing 2.3.1 once it gets released, though if  
it happens right at the end of the month, I may wait a few days for 2018Q2  
to get branched beforehand---I'd like for the kinks to be worked out in  
head before it hits quarterly.

I thought the hold up was with the extra certitification step.

There are simply a lot of regressions in 2.3. Many of them have been fixed  
upstream, but only the showstoppers made it into 2.3.0.1. The rest of the  
fixes will be released with 2.3.1 later this month. 2.2.x is stable and  
reliable, so I decided to stay on 2.2 until 2.3.1 is released.


Once 2.3.1 and the next pigeonhole are released, ler and I will dogfood  
them, and if they're solid then we'll commit the updates.

You, constantly asking this list why they haven't upgraded any ports to 
the latest versions but not actually providing any patches yourself to 
help the volunteers do this more quickly.
