This is considered a bug. 2.3.14 _is_, however, in the Debian svn repo in such a state that you should be able simply to check it out/export it from https://mail.incase.de/svn/cyrus22/branches/cyrus23/cyrus-imapd-2.3-development/ type "dpkg-buildpackage" and get a set of binary packages. Try this, and if it breaks, shout at me. There are several reasons why there aren't official binaries, mostly centred around picking a version of BDB to build against (the above dev version will use whatever you have installed on the build system, which is not deterministic enough for a proper release). The Debian BDB team understandably want to limit the number of BDB versions they have to support. The Debian Cyrus team has been reluctant to take any more risk than the Debian OpenLDAP team, who only recently switched from 4.2 to 4.7. It would be useful to hear from this list what other people's experience with different BDB versions has been, and whether Cyrus's BDB code is officially supposed to work with 4.7 (I know it does). The other major thing we need to fix in Debian is the lack of a clean, automated upgrade path from 2.2 for users of small self-contained systems. Historically a file specifying the backend DB defaults and BDB version has been used to stop the init scripts working until the sysadmin has manually ensured all the databases are upgraded. This is not really considered elegant. Internally at Sirius, we have a package set based on Debian (well, actually now it's more the other way round) with a whole slew of extra features like the UoA auto-* patches, my TLS fixes, client certs patch, and PTS LDAP enabled (but patched to work slightly differently)... Controversy-permitting, some of these should find their way into Debian mainline RSN. To answer your question: yes, Lenny on amd64 is our primary deployment architecture.
