Unfortunately the latest 3.4 series source package is 3.4.3-4 and release notes say I need to migrate to 3.4.4 before 3.6.
I think I will need to try to work out who the package maintainer is and ask if they have plans for a 3.4.4, which seems unlikely since the 3.4.3 package was last updated a year ago.
Best regards
Jim

I can't even find online the sources for the 3.4.1-2 that I have already downloaded from before.Given that the upgrade to 3.6 recommends starting from at least 3.4.4 due to differences in the storage systems I am a little bit perplexed.Does anyone have experience of finding older debian source packages, assuming that debian have ever packaged a 3.4.4 source?As I recall Debain have unique locations for things so installing from the cyrus sources is a nightmare for me. I'm pretty sure I have tried this before and failed to get the binaries where they needed to be.We normally just have a single server so I have no experience with replication, but I am working on a clone of my virtual machine (intending to do an in place upgrade) - do I need to uninstall 3.4 completely, do a fresh 3.6 install and then replicate from the existing 3.4 VM to 3.6 in my testing VM?Jim
