[SOLVED] Why is Cyrus still at v2.1.26 on Slackware?

angstrom · 03-14-2018, 08:07 AM

A quick question if I may: why is Cyrus still at v2.1.26 on Slackware? Upstream stable is at v3.0.5, but there was also a 2.2 series, a 2.3 series, a 2.4 series, and a 2.5 series. Perhaps an incompatibility somewhere?

I do not believe that Cyrus is part of Slackware by default. It does not exist on my v. 14.2 system.

The current version offered at Slackbuilds.org is 2.5.11.

What version of Slackware are you using?

14.2
https://packages.slackware.com/?r=sl...6-x86_64-1.txz

Current
https://packages.slackware.com/?r=sl....26-i586-3.txz

Thanks, ChuangTzu.

Cyrus did not turn up with a whereis or an apropos, but a locate turned it up.

Webpage has stable at 2.1.26. Github shows latest release is 2.1.27-rc7.

Which webpage? Because the Cyrus webpage (https://www.cyrusimap.org/) shows 3.0.5

What is Cyrus IMAP?

Cyrus IMAP is an email, contacts and calendar server. Cyrus is free and open source.

This is the documentation for version 3.0.5 (stable) of Cyrus IMAP: stable branch.

I don't know anything about Cyrus, but apparently Cyrus IMAP is at version 3.0.5 while Cyrus SASL is at 2.1.26. Slackware includes Cyrus SASL, while Cyrus IMAP is on SBo.

The latest stable version of Cyrus SASL is 2.1.26.

Think you guys are talking about two different things one is Cyrus-IMAP the other Cyrus-SASL

What I miss the <facepalm> ...

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Yes, my confusion: the term "Cyrus" is ambiguous and could mean Cyrus SASL or Cyrus IMAP. Sorry about this. I was under the impression that Cyrus SASL was a subpackage of Cyrus IMAP (what I was calling "Cyrus") and shared its version number, but this isn't the case. Thanks again for the clarification.

I'll be honest, had never heard of Cyrus SASL previously.

So I learned something new.
