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

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...

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
