Log message:
work around differences in find options for depth-first traversal
   2003-04-15 02:02:26 by Klaus Heinz | Files touched by this commit (18)
Log message:
  Update to version 2.53.
  This also closes PR pkg/21114 (thanks to Todd Vierling for dynamic PLIST)

  Most serious bugs since release of SA 2.50 fixed (hence the 'long'
  delay for the Pkgsrc package).

  Dependence on procmail removed. You still need a mail delivery agent
  but procmail is only a recommendation, not a prerequisite.

  Runs on Solaris (somewhat tested on Solaris 8, feedback welcome).

  Includes some SSL support for spamc/spamd. Not yet recommended due to
  lurking bug(s) (SA bugzilla ID 1751).

  Uses Perl module DB_File now instead of NDBM_File. This changes the
  name and format of the auto-whitelist database  ('auto-whitelist'
  instead of 'auto-whitelist.db' on NetBSD).

  ! This release adds/changes/removes configuration options, PLEASE use !
  ! 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' and make  sure your mail         !
  ! configuration still works as expected.                              !

==========================================================================

Changes since 2.52:

- corruption of Bayes db where nspam/nham was getting zeroed, fixed.

- Bayes now has much lower lock timeouts for opportunistic expiry
  and auto-learning, to avoid overloading busy servers with an expiry
  run.  (This may result in occasional "lock failed" messages in the
  syslog while you're doing manual sa-learn ops, but those are
  not serious; it just means that an auto-learn could not take place
  because the dbs were opened by you in another process.)

- NDBM_File does not provide an EXISTS method, worked around.

- BSMTP support (spamc -B) fixed.

- Bayes allowed the user to 'forget' messages they hadn't learned.

- sa-learn broken when installed in a non-standard location.

- spamc was failing to dump message if out of memory.

- add-all-addrs-to-blacklist was a no-op, fixed.

- syslog-socket support was broken, fixed.

- sslspamc compilation fixed.

- SIGCHLD handling in spamd was causing an ugly warning on Red Hat 8.

- user_prefs were left world-writable after auto-whitelist use.

- Razor was zeroing %ENV; protected against this.

- some test failures on 5.005 and with Razor fixed; some tests were
  also still using the user's Bayes dbs.

- Windows portability fix in new Bayes journal code.

- dialup_codes now a privileged setting.

- clean PATH env variable immediately upon spamd start; fixed problem
  with taint mode failures when getting hostname in Perl 5.005.

- NetBSD: fixed SSL support, spamd start script.

- single-Received-header mails were not getting DNSBL checks.

- some doco fixes.

Changes since 2.51:

  - bug 1664: expiry imposed way too much load when a single
    site-wide Bayes db was used, fixed
  - bug 1672: a typo in a backported patch for 2.51 caused Bayes to
    sometimes not unlock the db, fixed
  - INSTALL now strongly recommends using DB_File
  - some NetBSD support fixes
  - bug 1601: option --syslog-socket wasn't implemented
  - bug 1260: corrected description of --nocreate-prefs option

Changes since 2.50:

  - Bayes locking and concurrency issues fixed
  - Bayes expiration was not working; fixed
  - spamd was not enabling Bayes after auto-learning without restart;
    fixed
  - safer way to attach spams, for broken mail clients, using 'report_safe
    2'
  - a few doco cleanups

Main changes since 2.4x:

- Bayesian filtering, using a Bayesian-style form of probability-analysis
  classification.  This uses an algorithm based on the one detailed in
  Paul Graham's 'A Plan For Spam' paper, along with aspects taken from
  Graham Robinson's work, and the chi-combining technique developed by the
  SpamBayes project.

- Auto-learning.  This trains the Bayesian filter automatically, based on
  the results from traditional SpamAssassin diagnosis.   It uses a set of
  heuristics and separate thresholds to ensure (as much as is possible)
  that it trains on guaranteed non-spam and spam.   Old, unused tokens are
  automatically expired.

- much-improved rule set.  A whole new set of rules based on Message-Id
  analysis is now in place, which accurately detects forged headers from
  a wide range of spamware.   Many inaccurate rules have been dropped.
  HTML tests much improved, with a set to detect image-only spam.

- new default format for detected-spam messages; the message is
  encapsulated as a MIME part, with a preview and the spam report
  in the main part of the message.

- Score sets.  Based on whether you are using just SpamAssassin rules,
  adding network tests, and using a trained Bayesian database,
  SpamAssassin will use a set of scores appropriately to gain the
  maximum degree of accuracy.

- Italian, Polish, Spanish, French and German rule sets and translations.

- Much improved reliability with spamd.  The problems with signals
  have been cleared up thanks to a pipe-based child tracking system,
  and all spamd-hanging bugs reported have proved unreproducable.

- Unicode problems with Red Hat 8 and perl 5.8 fixed.   Works on Perl
  5.005, 5.6.x, and 5.8.x.

- Taint-safe.  SpamAssassin runs with perl's taint-checking enabled for
  better security.

- Razor 1 support is now officially deprecated.

- "spamc -c" was not working, fixed.  This fix required increasing the
  revision of the spamd protocol; only difference is that now more than
  one protocol header can appear in the reply from spamd.

- all fixes from 2.44 included.

Log message:
Remove incorrect 'free()' from libspamc.c (used in 'spamc'). Patch copied
from stable branch of SA CVS repository.

On other operating systems 'spamc' was reported to cause a core dump if
'spamd' was not running. At least NetBSD/i386 1.5.3 seems not to be as
severely affected, I only got 'spamc in free(): warning: junk
pointer, too high to make sense.'.

Log message:
Maintenance update to 2.44
Parts of patch-ag and patch-ah as well as complete patch-aa could be
removed again, they are now included in SA 2.44 (see below).

#### official release announcement ###############

This is a bug-fix release, which fixes the following bugs:

  - Backport fix for Bug 1306: Possible buffer overflow in libspamc when
    running in BSMTP mode (patch 1.15 -> 1.18)

  - Backport workaround from Bug 526: Failed sanity check because of
    clobbered STDOUT (patch 1.147 -> 1.148)

  - Backport fix for Debian Bug 160206: Insufficient buffer in libspamc
    (patch 1.8 -> 1.9)

  - Backport fix for warnings in sed_path (patch 1.141 -> 1.142)

  - Backport fix for Bug 1127: Existing lowercase x-spam-status header
    kills SpamAssassin (patch 1.40 -> 1.41)

  - localized %ENV to fix problem where Razor2 erases the PATH so DCC
    and
    pyzor don't work, etc.

Note that this is *not* 2.50, which offers Bayesian filtering etc. These
bugs are already fixed in the 2.50 CVS tree, but that is not yet ready for
release.  This is a stable maintainance release only.

Bump package revision.

Log message:
Instead of including bsd.pkg.install.mk directly in a package Makefile,
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES".  This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile.  Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.

Log message:
Changed the rc.d script to account for different behaviour of
load_rc_config in NetBSD 1.6. This resolves PR pkg/18928 by Frank Cusack
(fcusack at fcusack com).

The rc.d script is now called on 'shutdown'.

Included fixes from SA CVS repository (2002-10-21) to minimize
impact of Razor2 on the environment vector, especially PATH.

Bumped PKGREVISION.

Log message:
For subtle reasons, expand ${WRKSRC} into ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME} in
RCD_SCRIPT_SRC.spamd definition.  The reason is that WRKSRC isn't defined
by the time we get down to bsd.pkg.install.mk, so the dependency logic
replaces "${WRKSRC}" with "", which is wrong.

XXX bsd.pkg.install.mk should really be included by bsd.pkg.mk, in much the
XXX same way bsd.buildlink2.mk is included by bsd.pkg.mk.  It would remove
XXX these ordering problems with variables not being available.

Log message:
- Setting PKG_SYSCONFBASE in /etc/mk.conf works now.
- Included fix for bad AWL behaviour which will also be in 2.50 (maybe 2.43)
  (ie AWL works the same again as in SA 2.31). This causes revision bump.
