reconstruct: Authoritative ACL?

[Torsten Schlabach]

Dear list!

Just a question:

Cyrus keeps a backup copy of the ACL for each mail folder in the 
cyrus.header file.

When doing a reconstruct -r -f, the ACL from the cyrus.header file is 
taken over and copied over to the mailboxes.db.

I can imagine situations where this is not what you want.

Unfortunately, deleting the cyrus.header file is not an option, for two 
reasons:

1. One needs to preserve the UID of the folder to make sure the xxx.seen 
and xxx.sub databases can still be matched.
2. Without a cyrus.header file, the folder will not be reconstructed at all.

Would it make sense to prepare a patch which would introduce an 
--ignore-acl or --acl=mailboxesdb|filesystem switch to reconstruct?

Torsten
