Any advice on big upgrade lenny->jessie?

[Boylan, Ross]

I tried to build db4.2-util from source on jessie, but couldn't even get configure to run: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/05/msg00069.html.  Maybe I could have just installed the deb from wheezy, but that didn't seem trustworthy.

Instead I ran the wheezy system in a chroot, copied the current cyrus-upgrade-db script into it, edited upgrade cyrus-db-types.txt to change all the berkeley db's to skiplist (except I left the DBENGINE line intact) and ran the upgrade script in the chroot.  I had to alter the path to cvt_cyrusdb so the script could find it.

I copied the resulting files to the new system and deleted cyrus-db-types.active.

My next step is to install sasl, and then I'll try installing cyrus.
