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.

I would make the error spit out: Is there a way to know if cyrus was updated?Documentation is pretty miserable; best source for changes is either <http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/changes.html> or to read the CVS commit maillist <http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/cyrus-cvs/> [or subscribe to it cyrus-cvs-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ]
I think i should rephrase my question. Is there a way for cyrus to know that it was updated since the last time it did run, so it can do the things suggested by Bron. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.Menge Tel.: (49) 7071/29-70316 Universität Tübingen Fax.: (49) 7071/29-5912Zentrum für Datenverarbeitung mail: michael.menge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
