Description nagy.attila 2010-09-21 17:20:00 UTC

This is a copied and slightly modified version of mail/dovecot, upgraded to the version 2.0(.3).

I've made this a separate port, because a lot of things have changed, and upgrading between major versions is not a simple matter of portupgrade, and also, new versions from the 1.2 branch are available... It would be nice to repo copy the mail/dovecot port to this one and apply the new version to preserve history. There is a new user needed (dovenull), so there are two additional patches in the shar, for the UIDs and the GIDs file.
Detailed instructions on upgrading: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0
The largest changes since v1.2 are:

	* Dovecot uses two system users for internal purposes now by default:
	  dovenull and dovecot. You need to create the dovenull user or change
	  default_login_user setting.
	* Global ACLs are now looked up using namespace prefixes. For example
	  if you previously had INBOX. namespace prefix and a global ACL for
	  "INBOX.Sent", it's now looked up from "INBOX.Sent" file instead of
	  "Sent" as before.
	* Maildir: File permissions are no longer based on dovecot-shared file,
	  but the mailbox directory.
	* vpopmail support is currently disabled due to reliability issues (by the program's author)

	+ Redesigned master process. It's now more modular and there is less
	  code running as root.
	+ Configuration supports now per-local/remote ip/network settings.
	+ dsync utility does a two-way mailbox synchronization.
	+ LMTP server and proxying.
	+ Added mdbox (multi-dbox) mail storage backend.
	+ doveadm utility can be used to do all kinds of administration
	  functions. Old dovecotpw and *view utilities now exist in its
	  subcommands.
	+ imap and pop3 processes can now handle multiple connections.
	+ IMAP: COMPRESS=DEFLATE is supported by imap_zlib plugin
	+ director service helps NFS installations to redirect users always
	  to same server to avoid corruption

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:

Comment 1 nagy.attila 2010-09-27 10:29:31 UTC

  Dovecot 2.0.4 is released, attached is a patch for the submitted port, 
users are advised to upgrade.

Changelog:

multi-dbox users: Be careful about the INDEX change.

Maildir users: I hope v2.0 is now finally stable.

	* multi-dbox: If :INDEX=path is specified, keep
	  storage/dovecot.map.index* files also in the index path rather than
	  in the main storage directory.

	  WARNING: if you specified :INDEX= with earlier mdbox installation,
	  you must now manually move the storage indexes to the expected
	  directory! Otherwise Dovecot won't see them and will rebuild the
	  indexes, possibly unexpunging some mails.

	- Maildir: Copying messages with hard links sometimes caused the
	  source maildir's entire tmp/ directory to be renamed to destination
	  maildir as if it were a message.
	- Maildir: v2.0.3 broke expunging copied messages sometimes
	- Maildir: INBOX whose tmp/ directory was lost couldn't be opened
	- single-dbox: Messages weren't copied with hard links
	- vpopmail support is hopefully working again.
	- dsync: POP3 UIDLs weren't copied with Maildir
	- dict file: Fixed fd leak (showed up easily with LMTP + quota)

Please do not forget to put in these two patches.
These are very important to run dovecot2

And also the following, taken from the mailing list

Comment 4 nagy.attila 2010-09-30 13:08:53 UTC

  Hi,

I would like to avoid sending every (although important) patches which 
appear in hg until the port is committed to the tree. Until that I will 
send patches for new releases only.

Thanks,

Comment 5 dennylin93 2010-10-03 11:00:58 UTC

Hi,

I asked this question on freebsd-ports@, but I didn't really get any
replies. Should mail/dovecot be updated to 2.0 or should a new port be
created for 2.0?

It seems that the port names are a bit inconsistent. E.g., mail/postfix
contains the latest stable version and older versions are named
mail/postfixXX. On the other hand, net/freeradius contains 1.1 while
net/freeradius2 has the latest version.

Comment 6 nagy.attila 2010-10-04 10:16:01 UTC

  Hi,

My personal opinion is that versioned ports are the best. Major versions 
usually differ so much that an automatic upgrade is not desireable.
Take for example Berkeley DB and OpenLDAP...

Comment 7 Greg Lewis 2010-10-04 20:09:41 UTC

Thanks for working on this port!  It looks very promising :)

Attached is a shar that fixes most of the issues raised by portlint (and
also updated to 2.0.5).  Let me know if you've got any comments.

The changes include:

. Fix man page specification (use MAN1, MAN7).
. Simplify PORTDOCS handling.
. Use PORTEXAMPLES and fix example install.
. Add a CONFLICTS/LATEST_LINKS entry to prevent collisions with dovecot.

Couple of questions.

. Why dovecot20 rather than dovecot2?  I don't want to end up in the Samba
  situation (see net/samba3X).  If we're unlikely to want a dovecot21 port
  (and I hope we are) then I'd recommend dovecot2.
. What are you trying to do in these lines:

	@${GREP} '^@exec ' ${TMPPLIST} \
		| ${SED} -e 's:^@exec ::; s:%D:${PREFIX}:g;' \
		> ${WRKDIR}/.PLIST.exec \
		&& ${SH} ${WRKDIR}/.PLIST.exec

  'cos that seems like something you shouldn't need to do explicitly...

Yuck.  Looks like the shar file I attached got messed up.  I've put it
here:

I'm actually using this, so I may as well check it in :). 

Atilla, please let me know if you have any comments on the last shar I 
posted and on dovecot20 vs. dovecot2.

I haven't really followed Dovecot's lifecycle until now, so I'm not sure 
how big changes can be expected between minor versions.
If you did, and minor versions are "compatible" enough to make a 
2.0->2.1 switch easy and safe for the user, let it be dovecot2.
My assumption was that if there are big changes, it's safer to stick 
with that branch and let the port user decide whether to upgrade to a 
new minor version or not.

Hmm, it seems to be a leftover from the original port.

BTW, please add the following patch to the 2.0.5 release: 
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/2b8b2875af26
It corrects an fd leak bug, which makes the system die in some minutes 
(at least this is the case here, with 500+ pop logins per sec).

Thanks,

ps: if you commit this, please take care about its pigeonhole part too, 
I'm using them together. :)

The '@${GREP}' ... lines are an artifact from a mail/dovecot upgrade
from r1.91 -> 1.92.
