Description Malte S. Stretz 2004-02-16 09:17:04 UTC
SpamAssassin 2.62 was released almost exactly a month ago, but the version currently marked as stable in Gentoo is still 2.60. There have been some important fixes in 2.61 and 2.62. So at least 2.62 should go out of ~arch.

The version 2.63 was released just two weeks ago but it was just a small patchset on top of 2.62, most of the stuff compatibility fixes for Perl 5.5. So it's not as important for Gentoo, but there haven't been any reports of bugs which were introduced after 2.62.

2.6x is the current stable branch so with x++ there aren't any new features introduced. The version numbering of SpamAssassin will be made a bit clearer with the next release which will be 3.0.0 :)

I already talked with esammer about this issue on IRC (a week ago), and he said the current version is currently under testing and this should happen soonishly :)

Reproducible: Always

Marked stable on x86 and amd64 in cvs. PPC is already stable. Waiting on reports from others (sparc, alpha, mips, etc.). Please test.

Leaving open until word comes from other archs.

Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc alpha hppa ~mips ia64 amd64"


Everything but mips, and I understand mips to be in flux at the moment. Closing :)
