Armhf builds of dovecot-lucene and postgrey

12

Hi there :slight_smile:

I took some time this morning to build dovecot-lucene on a Scaleway C1 armhf server hosting Mail-in-aBox.

Here’s how i made it work :

apt-add-repository ppa:mail-in-a-box/ppa

Uncomment “deb source” line in the file “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mail-in-a-box-ppa-trusty.list”

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mail-in-a-box-ppa-trusty.list
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mail-in-a-box/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mail-in-a-box/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
  # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mail-in-a-box/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
  # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mail-in-a-box/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

Refresh APT and install tools and dependencies.

apt-get update
apt-get install debhelper cdbs lintian build-essential fakeroot devscripts pbuilder dh-make debootstrap
apt-get install libclucene-dev libpam0g-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev libsqlite3-dev libsasl2-dev drac-dev libbz2-dev libdb-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libwrap0-dev dh-systemd  libclucene-dev liblzma-dev libexttextcat-dev libstemmer-dev hardening-wrapper dh-autoreconf

Download sources.

cd /tmp
apt-get source dovecot-lucene

Make the package!

cd dovecot-2.2.9/
debuild -us -uc -b

And install it !

cd /tmp
dpkg -i dovecot-lucene_2.2.9-1ubuntu2.1+miab1_armhf.deb

Make sure that everything is OK with Dovecot :

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin-fts.conf

Should contain :

plugin {
  fts = lucene
  fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@.
}

And mail_plugins variable in file : vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

#Space separated list of plugins to load for all services. Plugins specific to
# IMAP, LDA, etc. are added to this list in their own .conf files.
#mail_plugins =
mail_plugins=$mail_plugins fts fts_lucene

Rock it !

service dovecot restart

Searching is now damn fast in my fatty mailbox - 11 Go.

By the way, thanks a lot @JoshData for this great tool :smile:
