PPTP Client Project

  • Built upstream repositories for Fedora 14 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

  • Dropped support for yum repositories for ancient end-of-lifed distributions Red Hat Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, and Fedora Core releases 1 and 2

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.0.8 (and pigeonhole to 0.2.2 release), adding systemd activation from Fedora 15 onwards:

    • Services' default vsz_limits weren't being enforced correctly in earlier v2.0 releases; now that they are enforced, you might notice that the default limits are too low and you need to increase them - this problem will show up in logs as "out of memory" errors (see default_vsz_limit and service { vsz_limit } settings)

    • LMTP: In earlier versions if mail was delivered to user+detail@domain address, LMTP server always attempted to deliver the mail to mailbox named "detail"; this was rather unintentional and shouldn't have been the default - lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes setting now preserves this behaviour (default is no)

    • Added systemd support (configure --with-systemdsystemunitdir)

    • Replaced broken mbox-snarf plugin with a new more generic snarf plugin

    • dbox: Fixes to handling external mail attachments

    • verbose_proctitle=yes didn't work for all processes in v2.0.7

    • imap, pop3: When service { client_count } was larger than 1, the log messages didn't use the correct prefix - last logged in user's prefix was always used, regardless of which user's session actually logged it; now the proper log prefix is always used

    • MySQL: Only the first specified host was ever used
