    Hi.

    In a joined effort, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh and myself created
    preview packages for the upcoming official cyrus22-imapd packages. Some
    more interested maintainers joined the project so that bugfixes/updates
    to cyrus22 should be done quite regularly.

    We invite you to test and use the packages, but we must warn you that
    the packages might not yet be as stable as they should be, so please
    don't use them in a production environment unless you know _exactly_
    what you are doing. Having said that warning, I confess that I use the
    packages in a production environment (not really important, temporary
    failures are OK on that system).

    If you want to check the packages, either download the source package
    from alioth (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-cyrus-imapd/) or
    download them from my homepage:

    # apt-get repository for i386 binaries
    deb http://incase.de/cyrus22/i386/ ./
    # apt-get repository for a,d64 binaries
    deb http://incase.de/cyrus22/amd64/ ./
    # apt-get source repository
    deb-src http://incase.de/cyrus22/ ./

    I'm keen on receiving feedback both on the binary packages as well as
    the source package. We had (unreproducable) build problems reported
    against the first preview package, so reports against the source package
    are really welcome, both for successes and failures.

    For now, please send bug reports (and success stories) to:
    pkg-cyrus-imapd-debian-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org

    Even though I personally use the package in a production environment, it
    is strongly discouraged to do so. The packages aren't well tested and
    might be _really_ unstable. You have been warned.

    cu,
    sven

    PS: We know others already packaged cyrus22-imapd unofficially. However
    all the packages I saw had problems I eliminated with the above packages
    (for example build problems when using fakeroot or build problems
    regarding the perl elements of cyrus22-imapd). Also, this is the
    packaging of cyrus22-imapd which will enter unstable in a while in
    accordance to HMH's ITP (#221894).
