I've recently set up a mechanism for the automated building of Debian
packages from CVS. It is my hope that this will allow more people to
test out the latest version of SpamAssassin. In the past we've often
had to release newer versions soon after a release to fix very
serious, easily avoided bugs.

So, I encourage everyone to please consider testing out the latest
packages, especially if you already run Debian unstable or testing --
it's so simple!


Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://people.debian.org/~duncf/debian/ unstable main

Run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Voila. New SpamAssassin packages.

These packages are run via a cron job at 09:30 UTC, so they should be
available by about 09:40 UTC. They are set to reflect the latest
CURRENT_CORPORA_SUBMIT_VERSION, which is tagged at 9:00 UTC (Justin,
this is correct, right?)

Minor disclaimers:

Unfortunately, only the latest CVS package is available. If for some
reason, the latest version of the CVS is broken, the package may still
be built, but may not be functional. Sorry.

Bug reports should not be submitted through the Debian BTS, but should
be submitted directly to me, if it's a Debian packaging related
problem. Otherwise, they should be reported at
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org
