I meant to imply that you lot are smart not clear the room :)

jperkin: dovecot has a new 2.4 release. Would it be possible to have the old 2.3 branch additionally on trunk? Cause 2.4 is a massive upgrade with config changes! And an upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 will break all dovecot installations.

ugh

jperkin: Yeah, I know

so, yes and no, we could add a new dovecot23 package, but you'll still have the problem that pkgin will upgrade you to 2.4 unless you specifically request the 23 version

and as you won't be able to install both simultaneously, I'm not really sure it helps much other than to delay the inevitable

jperkin: how can I dely it?

dely=delay

switch to 2024Q4 if you want to avoid any major upgrades

Or can I use pkgin keep?

no, that just selects which packages should not be autoremoved

we don't support the use-case where you hold a package at a specific version, it's just not a reliable way to manage software, all packages must always be consistent with each other

Ah ok. Phew. dovecot 24 ist a totally different product with massive changes. Something like ruby 1.9 to ruby 3.3.

Here is the list of config changes from 2.3 to 2.4: doc.dovecot.org/2.4.0/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html
