dovecot: postgres variant problem

[j.averous@…]

• The "postgres" don't work for me (no error but the --build-options of dovecot say that I have not the sql driver)...
• Add the variant "mysql" should be a good thing too :)

Can you be more specific about how it fails to work with postgres8?

[j.averous@…]

MacPort say nothing : he configure, build and install without error.

But usually, when we set a database option for the compilation of dovecot, he use it as a driver and allow to use "sql" for passdb and userdb and allow to use mysql/postgres for the connexion parameters. But here, the sql driver doesn't exist (if you use it on a configuration file, dovecot raise an error (see /var/log/mail.log) and exit, and if you print the options build with dovecot with '--build-options', he doesn't print "sql")

• In r63169, the postgres variant was replaced with variants for each version of postgresql, and they actually work now.
• The request to add a mysql variant was filed separately as #17709 and has also been resolved.
