It's +a horrible package with lots of "gotchas". + +Sadly, I've just recently been bitten by fallout due to some of the many +dropped patches when you updated the package to the 2.4 series in this +commit: +<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cyrus-imapd/current/SPECS/cyrus-imapd.spec?r1=130115&r2=196262">http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cyrus-imapd/current/SPECS/cyrus-imapd.spec?r1=130115&r2=196262</A> + + +What the commit message said was: +"upgrade to 2.4.13" + +Unfortunately, this is really no where near enough information for the, +very brutal changes that were introduced in that commit. + +14 patches were disabled! That's a lot to go unmentioned! + + +In my case some of the patches were very important - namely the +autocreate and autosieve patches which are an important part of my +setup. I don't add users very often but today I spent a long time trying +to debug why my new user's mailbox didn't "just work" as it always has +in the past. + + +As I investigated the issue I saw this "cleanup" patch: +<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cyrus-imapd/current/SPECS/cyrus-imapd.spec?r1=259043&r2=259168">http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cyrus-imapd/current/SPECS/cyrus-imapd.spec?r1=259043&r2=259168</A> + + +Sadly this just compounded the above problem, and all the patch files +themselves still remained in the SOURCES folder. + +As this is needed functionality for my setup (and likely other users +too), I've taken the time today to investigate all the dropped patches +and find replacements/updates where appropriate and drop those ones +committed (or which have alternative fixes) upstream. + +Please can you take a look over the changes: +<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=400402">http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=400402</A> +<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=400404">http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=400404</A> + + +As you'll see it took a little time and I documented all the changes as +clearly as I could (I would have done it in individual commits but that +isn't really easy with subversion - no ability to stage changes and I +was too lazy to use git-svn here). + +The rmquota patch is still disabled, but only two others are slightly +concerning now. The rest either still applied or had appropriate +upstream fixes. + + + +Finally, I notice you made this change: +<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cyrus-imapd/current/SPECS/cyrus-imapd.spec?r1=389214&r2=394129">http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/cyrus-imapd/current/SPECS/cyrus-imapd.spec?r1=389214&r2=394129</A> + +In theory, this is what one of the patches you disabled should deal +with. It silenced the user_deny.db verbosity. Sadly when rediffing the +patch it seems the latest version has refactored that code. I cannot +find anywhere where this message would be printed now (I see the error +on mga2 tho'). + +Can you confirm if this change is really needed or if it was added after +looking at the mga2 package rather than the current code? + +Cheers + +Col + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="023138.html">[Mageia-dev] Tonight's meeting +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="023147.html">[Mageia-dev] cyrus-imapd +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#23139">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#23139">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#23139">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#23139">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
