Hi,
I uploaded the following packages to ftp.linux-mandrake.com/incoming
cyrus-imapd-2.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm
cyrus-sasl-2.1.2-1mdk.src.rpm

Since it's not possible to download frome there, these packages and
binary one are also available at
http://perso.wanadoo.es/olivetti/cyrus

Notes:

1) These packages come with no support. They work for me, they may not
work for you. I'm not responsible for any damage they could cause to
you, your computer, your mail or whatever. I cannot help you if you have
problems with them. Sorry

2) The cyrus imapd package is derived from the packages by Simon Matter
(available at http://home.teleport.ch/simix/) modified to suit mandrake
8.2 dependencies and categories. I also removed the deliver-wrapper (you
won't need it if you follow the instructions in README.RPM in the doc
directory on how to configure postfix to deliver mail to cyrus)

3) The cyrus sasl package is derived from Mandrake's (broken?) 1.5.27
package, and follows its naming conventions:

3.a) The package cyrus-sasl just contains pwcheck, saslauthd and the
sasldb manipulation programs. If you have installed cyrus-sasl-1.5.27,
when you upgrade sasldblistusers and saslpasswd will be preserved and
renamed sasldblistusers1 and saslpasswd1

3.b) saslauthd is incompatible with previous version, pwcheck is
compatible but has the fifo in a different directory
(/var/lib/sasl2/pwcheck instead of /var/lib/sasl/pwcheck). If you have
applications using pwcheck you can make a symbolic link. If you need
saslauthd and both versions of sasl, bad luck.

3.c) libsasl2-* (sasl v.2)  and libsasl7-* (sasl v.1)  can coexist
peacefully,  you can't remove libsasl7 since there are many packages
dependent on it, so use rpm -i and not rpm -U to install the various
libsasl2 packages

3.d) The exception is libsasl2-devel which cannot coexist with
libsasl7-devel

3.e) Each sasl plugin has its own package. You don't need to install any
plugin (just the main library) if you just intend to use cyrus-imapd
with saslauthd (of course you have to install cyrus-sasl for that) . You
must install the plain plugin (libsasl2-plug-plain) if you're using
timsieved (it won't work otherwise and the message you'll get won't be
too useful)

3.f) I'm not using the other plugins, so I don't know if they work.

4) Please backup your mail spool and configuration directory if you have
a previous version of cyrus imapd installed and follow the instructions
in the documentation directory.
