setting hula-lite to test dragonfly

Hello there.

Don't kill me, read until the end and this is not a
hula-lite vs hula
discussion.

I've played a bit more with dragonfly tonight since i don't
have it
managing my email an realised that many things are REALLY
broken.

So, to give dragonfly a bit more of testing, is it possible
to have a
hula-lite system on top my imap/smtp system?

i know hula a bit, but never used hula-lite, so my question
goes: Could
this serve as primary test bed before hula reaches
production quality?

Is it possible to add patches to hula and also to hula-lite
(concerning
dragonfly)?

There is no documentation in the wiki. Is there someone that
can give a
hand? If this works ok i'll provide documentation.

Indeed  

Dragonfly isn't feature complete, and what features there
are sometimes
are buggy. The 1.0 requirements list is basically a list of
things which
would be needed for people to manage their mail with it.

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that the current hula-lite store isn't in
working
condition, and is a fair way from being in that condition.
For example,
it can't current read Maildir spools, and it doesn't have
any
authentication built in.

The reason I proposed a 1.0 without hula-lite is that I
don't think
hula-lite will necessarily be ready at that point.

No, but then, you wouldn't want to.

The hula-lite svn repository _only_ contains the new store.
Everything
else lives in the store branch. So, any Dragonfly patches
will always be
applied on the store branch.

Cheers,

Alex.
