It's hardly young.  While I'd describe vanilla murder as stable,  
there's not much code to stop you from doing something really  
stupid.  The worst case scenario is that you will inadvertently  
instruct ctl_mboxlist to remove all of the mail from your live  
backend.  So, don't do that.  Always make sure that it's going to do  
what you expect before committing.

Also, unified murder *is* young, and I would not describe it as  
currently stable.  It's getting close, tho.

Modifying existing setup to use Cyrus Murder

2009-08-20 Thread Alexander
Hello All,

I've inherited a working Cyrus installation (a pair of servers behind
a Perdition proxy), and I'd like to modify the existing setup to make
use of the Cyrus Murder.

I've found the following documentation:

http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/install-murder.html

But the reason I'm writing is to ask for general advice before I
start.  The document is a little short on specific detail;  have any
of you done the same?  Have you run into any traps, or non-obvious
issues?  Anything to watch out for, or general advice?

Also, I see that there is a warning at the beginning of the document
about "Murder is still relatively young".  Is this still the case, or
is this just a leftover warning from years ago?  Can it be considered
reasonably stable and ready for usage?

Thank you very much,
Alexander
