Much probably, as it's possible to migrate even from rh7 to FC1.
There
is a dependency removal which scares me, though. As I use squirrelmail
as my webmail system, and seems that they're removing imap support on
fedora, I will have to stick with fc1 till it's resolved...
You dont need to worry. The imap server that's being removed is the UW-imap server due
to some license issues.. Dovecot and cyrus-imapd are available . I've set up a full
mail server on FC1 using squirrelmail , postfix and dovecot on my home machine (just for
practice) and it worked perfectly. Squirrelmail has on its configuration some special
tricks when dealing with certain imap servers.. For dovecot , just set it as
"other" under imap server type.. from the config.pl script:
Each IMAP server has its own quirks. As much as we tried to stick
to standards, it doesn't help much if the IMAP server doesn't follow
the same principles. We have made some work-arounds for some of
these servers. If you would like to use them, please select your
IMAP server. If you do not wish to use these work-arounds, you can
set this to "other", and none will be used.
cyrus = Cyrus IMAP server
uw = University of Washington's IMAP server
exchange = Microsoft Exchange IMAP server
courier = Courier IMAP server
macosx = Mac OS X Mailserver
other = Not one of the above servers
from the rpm package on FC1:
capeta:/var/www/yum/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS->rpm -qRp squirrelmail-1.4.0-1.noarch.rpm
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/env
/usr/sbin/sendmail
aspell
config(squirrelmail) = 1.4.0-1
httpd
httpd
perl
perl
perl(Cwd)
perl(IO::Socket)
php >= 4.0.4
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
tmpwatch >= 2.8
So imap is not an explicit dependency ( mainly because you can set up squirrelmail on a
dedicated machine , and the mail server is on other server , just like we have here...)
