Description Javier Marcet 2002-11-08 11:43:20 UTC
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.

It is a requirement to build bogofilter.

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:

Comment 3 Javier Marcet 2002-11-09 03:13:42 UTC
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.
