I would like to add my +1 to this as well. Dovecot-0.99.x is arguably just
as bad if not more 'alpha' than the upcoming 1.0 releases both in terms of
bugs and of features and it seems most odd to be shipping a package that
isn't supported by the upstream developer and community. I would also put
the case that 0.99.x was more 'alpha' in it's quality than the current
releases that are actually labelled as 'alpha'.
Anyway, there is a bugzilla entry open as an RFE for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170960
Perhaps that might be a good place to start adding comments, maybe if enough
people ask nicely in there and show support, it might happen from within RH
;-)
I have added the 1.0-alpha4 spec file and the patches I successfully used
myself to run dovecot-1.0-alpha4 on fc5t1 to that bugzilla, so I hope somebody
makes use of those and upgrades dovecot in devel - please? pretty please? :-)
Thanks, Willem Riede.
