richw> Hi.  Does a port of Cyrus 2.3.10 exist yet?  Or are you aware of any

richw> I'm running Cyrus on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE system.  I need to upgrade
richw> from 2.3.9 to 2.3.10 because I want to use replication but am running
richw> into stability problems with the replication code in 2.3.9.

richw> I tried building 2.3.10 from sources, using the same configuration
richw> options as in my 2.3.9 build from the port.  I added one patch from
richw> the Info-Cyrus list, relating to getgrouplist() calls, but otherwise
richw> used the 2.3.10 source "as is".

richw> The resulting 2.3.10 build suffered from problems with "ctl_cyrusdb -c"
richw> hanging, and other mail delivery attempts hanging (or timing out) and
richw> piling up in my Postfix queue.  I had to restart Cyrus frequently in
richw> order to clear these logjams.  Eventually, I gave up and went back to
richw> 2.3.9, but I can't stay there indefinitely because I need replication
richw> to work more solidly than it does in 2.3.9.

richw> Are you aware of any issues which might cause this sort of instability
richw> with 2.3.10?  If I can't find out (or figure out) what is going on, I'll
richw> probably have to move Cyrus off my FreeBSD box and put it on something
richw> like Ubuntu, where 2.3.10 appears to run without problems.

I've updated cyrus-imapd23 port to 2.3.10 with the patch for
getgrouplist issue, locally.  But, since the ports tree is in freeze
state now, I'm waiting the freeze is over.  2.3.10 is running well
here for about 20 days.  But, I'm not using replication at all.

Are you aware that GUID for replication has been changed to use SHA1?
I'm not sure but you might need to change GUID.  Please refer
install-upgrade.html.

You might want to try my cyrus-imapd23 port.  So, I've put it to:
