Recompile Dovecot with Vpopmail on Debian

Linux, , ,

Here's a script I use to quickly recompile dovecot with vpopmail support on Debian 6.0. I'm using the backports repository to get the 2.1 version of dovecot.

Now I'm using the following script every time I update and I get a new version of the dovecot packages.

  1. span style="color: #ff0000;">'s/with-sqlite \\/with-sqlite \\\n\t\t--with-vpopmail \\/'"--with-vpopmail""*.deb"'dbg'

The last line also installs all the dovecot packages except for the debug one. You might want to change it if you don't want all.

grub2 notes

Linux

Grub2 configuration is in /etc/defaut/grub ( on Debian at least ).

Set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub if you want to start with the last good boot.

update-grub - detects kernels automatically and writes boot lines to /boot/grub/grub.conf

grub-set-default - set the default entry ( First boot entry is number 0 )

grub-reboot - set the boot entry for the next reboot only ( for testing new kernels or other boot stuff especially when you're working remotely )
