I hadn't paid attention for awhile, and now I'm noticing that
SA-Update exited with code 1 every time it ran (daily) for the last
several weeks at least that I've been paying attention again.
Normal? Is there a list of when updates have come out?
They come out whenever needed. Sometimes that means several times in one
day, sometimes it can be months between updates. It depends on what the
spammers are doing, and if anyone has come up with a really good rule to
fill in a weakness in the existing ruleset.
If you want to see when updates have been made, look at the tags in SVN
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/tags/
The sa-update tags have a number at the end, the start of which is a
date stamp in yyyymmdd format
ie: the two most recent for the 3.2 branch are:
# sa-update_3.2_20080114123639/
# sa-update_3.2_20080114144817/
Which were both made on January 14th, 2008. I suspect the rest is a
timestamp, but I'm not entirely sure. If it is, the two were pushed a
little over 2 hours apart.
The 3.3 branch has had more recent updates, but at present that's still
a development branch, so the devs are more free to push rules to it that
are somewhat experimental.
