Bogofilter's ebuild
Created attachment 5481 [details] Judy's ebuild It was not clear what version the sources coresspond to. There were three different tarballs, this one being the only one with autoconf, other being allegedly portable, and the last one the official package on sourceforge. Read more at: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=693098&forum_id=186300 Please, refer to bugs #8827 and #8828, reported by Evan Read who actually made ebuilds for judy's libraries and bogofilter before I did. I'll post a copy of my bogofilter's on #8828 since it includes a small fix for a typo in the man pages. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 8828 *** |
Please, consider the attached ebuild for inclusion. Bogofilter is a fast Bayesian spam filter along the lines suggested by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam" http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html Having used bayesian-based spam filters for some time now, I am convinced they are the way to go, since they yield a much higher degree of detection of both ham and spam mail. I've tried others before, e.g. SpamProbe, but they were too slow to filter each mail received, even for a system with only a couple active users. Bogofilter, OTOH, is simple to use, small, and very efficient, both in speed and memory usage. Judy is a series of C libraries for creating and accessing dynamic arrays. A Judy tree is generally faster than and uses less memory than contemporary forms of trees such as binary (AVL) trees, b-trees, and skip-lists.
