| 2 | This is the first upload (well the second, but the first one was accidental) | |
| 3 | of cyrus-imapd-2.4 to unstable, please be aware that we don't have yet | |
| 4 | a stable upgrade path from cyrus-imapd-2.2, so you are on your own when | |
| 5 | upgrading. You need to read all README.Debian.* in | |
| 6 | /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.4/ especially the README.Debian.database | |
| 7 | to upgrade the database formats which has changed between 2.2 and 2.4 | |
| 8 | release. Also we will welcome any patches and/or migration scripts you | |
| 9 | might want to write to ease the migration. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | First thing you need to do is create a backup of all cyrus files, at | |
| 12 | least the /var/lib/cyrus which contains database files and /var/spool/cyrus | |
| 13 | which contains all your mail. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Next obstacle is removing all the cyrus-*-2.2. Unfortunatelly the purge | |
| 16 | of the cyrus-common-2.2 package will remove also some files needed for | |
| 17 | cyrus-common-2.4. So before we solve this problem, you have to run | |
| 18 | following command after purging the cyrus-common-2.2 package: | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | /var/lib/dpkg/info/cyrus-common-2.4.postinst configure | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | This will restore removed files and overrides for cyrus-*-2.4. All other | |
| 23 | packages could be removed without any real problem. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Also you might have guessed that you don't want to remove spools and | |
| 26 | other cyrus files because they are shared between cyrus 2.2 and 2.4. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | The next big change is that the cyrus-imapd-2.4 introduces the master | |
| 29 | command located in /usr/sbin/cyrus which can be used to run all the other | |
| 30 | cyrus binaries. There are still compatibility links in /usr/sbin/, but | |
| 31 | we will deprecated them for wheezy+1 in favor of the master cyrus command. | |
