Welcome!


> I'm a new(bie) MacPorts user and as a first project I'm trying to get postfix, dovecot and mysql working but am running into problems with dovecot. It appears there's no +mysql variant available. There are a couple tickets showing discussion and a patch file from many months ago <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17709> but I don't see anything after that. If I've somehow missed it, I apologize.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll resolve that ticket shortly.

No, there's no typical duration. It depends on the port maintainer. Please file a ticket requesting the update to 1.2.10.
