Re: Upgrading

    Gabriele,
    In regards to Sieve Scripts, it's odd that that information is
    missing from the upgrade page.  Here's the restructured text from an
    older version (I wrote this), 3.0.8:

    This section was removed by Ellie in 93d986b
    on 9 Feb. 2020.  One wonders if this is no longer needed?  Ellie?

    I recommend checking the man page for 'translatesieve(8)'

    Cheers,

Thanks! I read the documentation.

My imapd.conf has "unixhierarchysep: 1" but it has not "fulldirhash" nor "hashimapspool".

Do you think I can do an in place upgrade with just unixhierarchysep on?

Replicating is not an option at the moment...

 

Here's the entire imapd.conf:

lmtp_downcase_rcpt: 1
configdirectory: /sonicle/var/imap
partition-default: /sonicle/var/spool/imap
sievedir: /sonicle/var/sieve
admins: sonicle
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
allowplaintext: yes
sasl_mech_list: plain
tls_client_ca_file: /sonicle/ssl/certs/acme/fullchain.pem
tls_server_cert: /sonicle/ssl/certs/acme/cert.pem
tls_server_key: /sonicle/ssl/certs/acme/key.pem
altnamespace: yes
virtdomains: userid
unixhierarchysep: 1
duplicatesuppression: 0
sendmail: /sonicle/sbin/sendmail
sieve_utf8fileinto: 1

 

Also, the fifth section of the doc says 'Please also see "Sieve Scripts," below.' but there's nothing about Sieve below.

What should I pay attention to for Sieve?

Hi Gabriele,

 

Have you seen the upgrading documentation?  https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/download/upgrade.html

Hi, I'm starting to plan upgrade of some cyrus 2.5.11 installations to latest version 3, with the intent to user xapian.

Is there anything to be considered for such an upgrade? Will it upgrade any db automatically without the need for a stop?

Any other consideration about xapian, considering I've been using the buggy squatter until now.

 

Thanks!

Gabriele
