I would like to second the notion that having to specify SYSCONFDIR is going to cause sys-admins problems that do not follow this list. I have no problem with the idea in principle; I just think it needs to be well documented, preferable with a run-time-install check. The SYSCONFDIR issue was the one major problem I personally encountered during installation.

Reading through the suggestions on Bugzilla - having everything in /usr/local/etc may be 'consistant' with SpamAssassin , but it's going to cause upgrade headaches, especially if it defaulted otherwise. Perhaps the Makefile.PL could check to see which already exists (/etc/mail/spamassassin or /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin), and use that one. Or, ask, like it does for Razor2. Simply switching between versions however is a bad idea. -Chris ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
