Expected Results:  
to see latest stable spamassassin IS stable in gentoo

Since, and 3.2.5 was released in June of 2008, and it's currently
January of 2010, wouldn't it make sense for gentoo to either:
     1) abandon the package and remove it from portage
    -or-
    2) update the stable branch to the current version that has been our
stable release for over a year and a half?

3.2.1 was released in June of 2007, and that's the latest stable for
gentoo? Really? There's some pretty nasty bugs in that release (ie:
4179,5397,5509, 55115571,5680,5665)

It is a great disservice to the gentoo user community for them to
incorporate a tool that *needs* to be updated in a timely fashion into a
process with a really slow release cycle.

Since 3.2.1 is already broken, (even its sa-update is somewhat broken by
the "non-redundant mirrored-by" bug), I don't think that updating one
rule is going to help the gentoo users very much.

for a STABLEREQ for mail-filter/spamassassin-3.2.5 it needs no outstanding bugs, I found one bug # 288161
Comment 2 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-01-15 19:35:33 UTC
Just turn a bug like this into a STABLEREQ then next time because that is basically the request :)

Add arches once bug 288161 is resolved (unless there are any other showstoppers)

Arches, please test and mark mail-filter/spamassassin-3.2.5-r2 stable.
Comment 4 nixnut (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-01-19 18:50:43 UTC
ppc stable
Comment 5 Andreas Schürch gentoo-dev 2010-01-19 19:06:01 UTC
Yet another sandbox vs me issue... :-(
It passes the testsuite on x86 as long as i have FEATURES="test
collision--protect -sandbox"
With the sandbox enabled, i hit http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294576

It has something to do with relative paths within t/SATest.pm on line 84 and
85! If i move them around, i can pass different tests manually within the
sandbox! But they have to be different (once a ./path works, while on another
test it fails with it and needs to be /the/full/path or just path without
anything leading) for at least 3 different tests! :-/

But i don't think its a regression, as the current stable ebuild (3.2.1-r2)
contains #SRC_TEST="do". ;-)
Comment 6 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-01-21 14:11:04 UTC
stable x86 nonetheless, thanks Andreas.
Comment 7 Tom Gall (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-01-24 17:54:31 UTC
stable on ppc64
Comment 8 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-01-31 17:58:32 UTC
alpha/ia64/sparc stable
Comment 9 Luca Lesinigo 2010-03-19 15:18:03 UTC
FYI, it's working stable on hppa (production MX, checks some hundred mails a day with spikes of thousands/day), but I hadn't tested for bug #288161
Comment 10 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-03-19 17:03:33 UTC
Stable for HPPA.
Comment 11 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-05-22 09:10:43 UTC
Should we proceed even with bug 288161 ? (if yes, please drop the blocker)
Comment 12 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-05-26 17:52:16 UTC
Maybe tests should be restricted until they work with sandbox enabled (bug 294576)

SRC_TEST="skip" should work
