Okay, here's a summary of the errors I'm currently getting from
Cassandane against the a cyrus built from the master branch on Debian
8.0

These ones:
> 58 Perl exception: Some process is already listening on 127.0.0.1:[port]
... I have seen before, and at the time the problem was a few stray
masters hanging around from a previous cass run that I had ^C'd and not
cleaned up after manually -- cleaning those up at the time fixed the
errors. This time that isn't the problem though -- when the Cassandane
run completes, there's no cyrus processes left running at all. So, so
far I dunno.
These two:
> 1 Perl exception: Cannot setmetadata: IMAP Command : 'setmetadata' failed. Response was : no - Mailbox does not exist
> 1 Perl exception: Cannot setacl for user.gastropub: IMAP Command : 'setacl' failed. Response was : no - Invalid identifier
... seem to be sporadic, they don't seem to occur on every Cassandane
run, but did on this one.
This one:
> 4 Perl exception: child process (binary /home/ellie/build/cassandane/utils/annotator.pl pid [pid]) exited with code 255
... is a head scratcher. I'm digging deeper into it at the moment.
These ones:
> 91 Perl exception: Cannot setacl for user.cassandane: IMAP Command : 'setacl' failed. Response was : no - Invalid identifier
> 6 Perl exception: Cannot setacl for user/cassandane: IMAP Command : 'setacl' failed. Response was : no - Invalid identifier

I thought I had seen something like this (specifically, "Cannot
setacl...") with the master branch on Debian 7.8 a few weeks ago, but
then I didn't look at master much for a while and next time I did it
wasn't happening anymore, so I just assumed it was an actual bug on
master that had gotten fixed. (IIRC it might have gone away when
Anthony's configure changes were reverted?)
So that's where I'm at. I'll keep digging (specifically into the
annotator.pl problem for now), but if any of this looks familiar to
anyone else on the list I'd appreciate a pointer. :)
Cheers,
ellie
