Yes, imapsync is just a single script. Last release is directly found at http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/imapsync > 1st try didn't work: now it hangs taking up 99.8% cpu right after start, > after printing imapd doesn't support MD5 auth. > That's solved adding opt --noauthmd5. Ok. I added a FAQ entry with this problem. > I think it should just check and if imapd doesn't know MD5 auth just don't > use it, unless explicitly told to do so. This used to be the behavior. There was a time imapsync exited in than case but I received two many complains. We also found servers not claiming they support some AUTH mechanism but actually supporting it. imapsync tries with the AUTH mechanism, and if this authentification fails then imapsync retries with a normal LOGIN authentification. So the problem here is the 99.8% cpu not stopping. I wonder why, what says strace ? > Anyway, on 2nd try 1.217 tops at 153MB and completes without errors. > So the OoM problem seems ironed out, thanks :) Good. > +150MB still looks quite a lot to me. Yes. memory and speed is not the first imapsync goal. There are several tricks to improve memory and speed. --useheader 'Message-ID' is one. > Perhaps imapsync .deb maintainer should resync 'unstable' with upstream. It's up to RISKO. The freebsd maintener updates the main port 2 days after each imapsync release. May be he uses a good Makefile doing the work easily. It may be bad sometimes but in that case the fix comes as soon as the new bug. Constructing packet takes time and energy. I'm not complaining about imapsync .deb maintener, RISKO Gergely, I'm glad he takes care about imapsync .deb. He arrived at the moment I decided to learn how to construct a .deb. So learning .deb is still in my todo list :-) In fact, for the main .deb port, the difficulty seems not technical, but social, having the keys to do it without knowing anyone in the debian team may take some time and energy. In Debian every change seems a heavy work. I don't know why but I understand why Debian is often 2 years late from the official software releases. For imapsync it's just 8 months, a good point. -- Au revoir, 02 99 64 31 77 06 20 79 76 06 Gilles Lamiral.
