Description Thomas Capricelli 2019-05-14 12:35:36 UTC
Please keep a 2.2x version in amd64. 2.3 has a severe notification bug, even in 2.3.6

Portage still has a 2.2.36.3, but only ~amd64, and no other 2.2.x is stable.

erm. We got a problem.

When compiled with glibc>=2.28, one of dovecot binary ('auth') will segfault.

There's a (oneliner) fix, commited to dovecot>=2.3, and not (yet?) backported to 2.2 :

I've patched locally my 2.2.36.3, and it fixes the crash. Could we add this patch ?

Please file a bug for the notification problem if it still applies.
