Re: Which version of cyrus run with Debian 12 ?

I only have a small deployment but in the past I ran into upgrade issues 
when the backport series I was using didn't make it into the next 
version of Debian and there was never a Debian version suitable for the 
intermediate upgrade path. Fortunately folks here gave me tips on 
migrating by using the last Debian patches on an original Cyrus source 
and crossing my fingers that it would compile - it did, but the result 
is that I now only use the official supported Debian version, albeit I 
still have to recompile for the options I want every time.

If you use the Debian official version, it puts some stuff in different 
places than other distributions and where the Cyrus source would install 
them by default, so switching between Debian official and Cyrus orignal 
versions can be a headache, but if you stick to one or the other you 
shouldn't have problems, but may need to document any changes you have 
to make. I think Debian keeps the init scripts in a different place to 
other distros (I only use Debian).

Yes Debian official is out of date, but it should be stable, our Cyrus 
server is hidden behind a separate mail security virtual appliance so I 
am not very concerned about having the most recent Cyrus updates, as 
long as the security appliance is up to date, your environment may have 
different needs.
