dumb sa-update question

[Ben Lentz]

Greetings List,
When I run sa-update and download the new set of include-d rules, it 
seems the system doesn't define a few make-style variables that /do/ get 
defined when installing from CPAN. I guess the most obvious one is the 
report_contact @@CONTACT_ADDRESS@@ in 10_misc.cf. To fix this, should I 
just sed -i -e 's/@@CONTACT_ADDRESS@@/me/g' after each run of sa-update? 
How are others fixing this?

I do have report_contact defined inside my regular ruleset in 
/usr/share/spamassassin/10_misc.cf, but of course is being 
overwritten/redefined when 
/usr/share/spamassassin/updates_spamassassin_org.cf and subsequently 
/usr/share/spamassassin/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf is loaded. 
I'd just bulk move to /var/lib/spamassassin/$version/ but I've had this 
break in the past and then I'd still be stuck sed-ing the 10_misc file. 
So, as a safety, I'm using sa-update --updatedir /usr/share/spamassassin 
and redefining everything. That way, if some of the files end up 
missing, I can still run with the stock rules from the main release.
