Quoting Bron Gondwana <brong@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Is there any good reason for a site to continue running 2.2 or even 2.1?
Some Enterprise Distibutions still use 2.2.x as they maintain the same version for a very long time. E.g. Suse (SLES 10) uses Cyrus 2.2.12. These Distrutions patch the software with own patches and backports, but I don't know if SuSE backported changes from 2.3.x
If there is - I want to know it, and I want to fix it, so we don't have to think about maintaining the old Cyrus. There aren't enough of us working on Cyrus to split the effort!Now - also of interest is the cost of having to change configurations when upgrading. 2.3.x is NOT a direct dropin for 2.[12].x because some defaults have changed. That's annoying. I don't know any good solution other than refusing to start or complaining very loudly if those keys are NOT present in the config file. I would make the error spit out:
Is there a way to know if cyrus was updated?
