==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `dovecot` (2.0) to 2.0.rc3 and `pigeonhole` to today's snapshot
  * fixed `lda` + `sieve` crash
  * added `mail_temp_dir` setting; default is `/tmp`
  * `imap`: fixed checking if `list=children` namespace has children
  * `mdbox`: race condition fixes related to copying and purging
 * Updated `perl-Module-CoreList` to 2.36 (updated for 5.13.3)

==== sftp fix ====

I've been having trouble connecting to my machine using `sftp` recently:
{{{
$ sftp roary
Received message too long 1650553704
}}}
The "`Received message too long`" error is usually due to having something in `~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_profile`
that generates output, which confuses `sftp`. After much experimentation, I tracked it down to `/etc/profile.d/PackageKit.sh`,
which adds a command-not-found handler in `bash`, and somehow this was being invoked during the `sftp` login though
I couldn't see any trace of it using regular `ssh`.

So the simplest fix for me was to just remove it:
{{{
# yum remove PackageKit-command-not-found
}}}
And lo, `sftp` worked again:
{{{
$ sftp roary
Connected to roary.
sftp>
}}}
