We downloaded the ubuntu dovecot source package from packages.ubuntu.com and updated the dovecot tarball to a current 2.x version using the uupdate tool (comes with ubuntu). Then we replaced the pigeonhole directory with a current version from the pigeonhole tarball to fix some crashing bug regarding managesieve. With dch -i you can edit the changelog and increase package version or patchlevel. Finally build the deb packages with dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us Good luck, Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820
