Bug#706217: release-notes: mention manual upgrade path for dovecot
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
The dovecot packages have a new major release in wheezy (Dovecot 1 vs.
Dovecot 2). Almost nothing remained the same - the maintainer as wel as
upstream have chosesn to make the two versions heavily incompatible.
AN automated upgrade from the squeeze package to the wheezy package is
not possible (right now, the wheezy dovecot package fails in postinst
when upgrading from squeeze and also on a fresh installation, but this
is another issue). The upgrade needs a lot of manual work to convert the
configuration to the new format and also parameters for integration with
MTAs changed.
If the release team wants to add a section about that in the release
notes, please notify me and I will happily create one.
