port dovecot is now installing dovecot 2 port dovecot2 is now installing dovecot 1
The change breaks ‘port update outdated’ as the existence of a dovecot2 install will prevent the installation of dovecot which now has become a dependency for other ports instead of dovecot2. dovecot2-sive is likewise replaced by dovecot-sieve with identical issues. The only luck I have now is that the update failed so my existing dovecot2 is still running and I can thus I can still read mail (including replies to this). Yes, making sure that the port dovecot installs dovecot 2 (current) is cleaner (letting port dovecot2 install dovecot 1 is bad). But is that worth this mess? Instead of a nice and simple update, I have (unexpectedly, if I had known I could have prepared) to figure out the new setup, variants, etc. And given that the upgrade failed halfway, I have a messed up MacPorts landscape and I (unexpectedly) have to spend (unplanned) time on this. Spending time on it is not the problem. Unexpected, because of a strictly sproken unnecessary cosmetic change, is. G
