I've been running cyrus-2.3.16-hmh on 2 production machines with minimal
problems so far (and all the problems were related to upstream issues,
such as the need to set "improved_mboxlist_sort: 1" in imapd.conf. I
think it would be OK to put them in a PPA for access by Ubuntu users (in
that absence of being a MOTU) and am planning on doing this soon. Then
it's probably time to start setting up debian packages for 2.4 ....

Hi there, I just thought I'd mention that I had a go at installing and
running the hmh branch. One thing I noticed is that it will fill the
syslog with errors of the form:
IOERROR: opening /var/lib/cyrus/user_deny.db: No such file or directory
I have the same problem. Did you ask anyone on the cyrus-devel list
about this? I have 2 concerns:
1.
I have rsyslog configured to log all mail stuff to /var/log/mail.*; e.g.
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail.none,news.none -/var/log/messages
So why is anything from cyrus being written to syslog at all? This
message should be going to /var/log/mail.err, as far as I can tell.
This seems like it might be a bug.
2.
I have not been able to get an answer on how the set of database names
cyrus uses is determined; i.e. why are /var/lib/cyrus
annotations.db, deliver.db, mailboxes.db, and tls_sessions.db
created automatically, but not user_deny.db? Maybe this db is only set
up if you actually have some deny user entries?
While on the subject, I also can't determine what /var/lib/cyrus/db is
for, or why /var/lib/cyrus/user/[a-z]/{user_name.seen, user_name.sub}
are placed in /var/lib/cyrus rather than in the appropriate user
directory under /var/spool/cyrus.
Apparently, this can be quite problematic in some cases as mentioned
here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg39304.html.
At least the logging seems like a bug. Also, shouldn't this be checked
just once per IMAP session?
The other thing I noticed is that there are a some cyrus binary tools
that don't seem to get installed such as cyr_df although its manpage is.
Can you identify what these are? There are
r...@www:/etc# ls /usr/sbin/ctl*
/usr/sbin/ctl_cyrusdb /usr/sbin/ctl_deliver /usr/sbin/ctl_mboxlist
but it is probably better to maintain continuity with the upstream
source for these, particularly since they live in sbin rather than bin.
Also, what man pages are missing? I haven't run into one yet.
Thanks.
