About these packages

These are unofficial Debian packages for Cyrus Imapd 2.3.7, built on a Debian sid distribution.

Please do not disturb the official Debian package maintainers with questions about this build, but send questions or remarks directly to me.

This upload is signed with my PGP key (C8F9AA4B), which is itself signed by some official debian maintainers (although I'm not one myself).

Important notes

I added a personnal patch to this release, named debian/patches/95-karavel-specific.dpatch, that I needed for a deployment, but that may not suit your own needs. The changes are:

Do not chown cyrus dirs or deleted squat files on install/upgrade because it takes too much time on a system with more than 10.000 mailboxes.
On a system running mupdate, wait for mupdate socket to be ready before allowing connexions to imapd and lmtpd.

The second one is really essential in a multi-server environment, without it you might loose mail during startup time or when restarting Cyrus Imapd. In case you don't want this patch, just download the sources (*.orig.tar.gz, *.dsc, *.diff.gz), edit debian/patches/00list to comment this patch and recompile the software.
