[OpenIndiana-discuss] How often is sfe Dovecot updated?

[DormitionSkete@hotmail.com]

Who maintains the SFE package?  If somebody is already maintaining it, I don't think I should butt in. (?)

I kind of have my hands full trying to get a grip on video card device drivers for Illumos, which I think OI desktop users would benefit greatly from if I can figure it out, and get it through the whole acceptance process.  If I give up on it -- and I don't give up very easily -- I'd be more inclined to do some package work for OI.  I can't really take that on right now, though.  At a later time, I might take you up on that offer, though!

I'm just wondering how often dovecot SFE gets updated?

I don't think building a script to update dovecot from sources would be that hard, and I wouldn't mind sharing it with others if I end up going that route, but I find the whole thought of that a bit ugly.

If I end up using dovecot - which I probably will - I'd like to keep it fairly up to date.  I'm trying to decide whether I want to use the sfe repository, or write my own update script to keep it updated from the sources.
