Description coran.fisher@gmail.com 2007-01-24 19:48:02 UTC
The current ebuild supplied ruledujour script is version 1.27 (/var/lib/spamassasssin/ruledujour) however the current is 1.30 http://sandgnat.com/rdj/rules_du_jour  There have been some URL changes and a rule depreciation since 1.27 so it would be nice to upgrade it in the ebuild.   For example the ANTIDRUG rules URL has changed and also it's only for <3.x spamassassin.
Also in the description one gets of the ebuild when you do things like emerge -s ruledujour one sees two URLs the first listed URL no longer exists and should probably be removed from the description (the second URL is the current URL).

Reproducible: Always

You will see the URL for the new version of the rules_du_jour script listed right from the http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm page at the top.

I second that.

And i would not call it an enhancement, but a bug, because it hinders new updates.

Especially because of the danger of a spammer taking that old host and url to sneak in some whitelisting for his spam, and for not getting that annoying

WARNING: YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED THIS RULESET from COMCAST. I am TERMINATING THIS ACCOUNT.
Someone else will eventually have control of this webspace, possibly a malicious spammer.
STOP using RDJ on this file *NOW*
Also, make note of the fact that this file is for users of SA 2.64 and below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
every f*cking day... (remember: this is SA 3.1.3 here.)

This does definitely not mean that i'm *expecting* others to fix this in ter precious free time. Just that it would be very nice. :)
I could even temporarly lend a hand in doing that... if someone tells me what to do exactly. (Because i've not much knowledge of ebuilds*.)

Please, please... thank you...

Comment 3 coran.fisher@gmail.com 2007-01-28 06:56:20 UTC
Navid, please remove ANTIDRUG from your trusted rulesets from /etc/rulesdujour/config and copy the new version of the rules_du_jour script over your current one. No reason for you to wait for an updated ebuild. That will stop the warnings.  If you use German language rulesets, I seem to recall URLs changing previously as well.

From my limited understanding it looks like no actual ebuild changes are needed they just need to name it to a newer version number and make a new tarball to put on gentoo's servers to update it. 

An alternative is to use the new spamassassin sa-update method as showing in http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/sare/sare-sa-update-howto.txt  personally I like rules_du_jour
