The sa-update process made things a bit more complex than simply
renaming the file after updates. If that's all you do, then sa-update
loses track of the file and will download a new copy on every run. What
I had to do is this:
1) Rename the .cf file back to the original name so sa-update can find it
2) Run sa-update
3) Rename the .cf file to z_sought_rules_yerp_org.cf
4) Restart spamd
You don't have to mess with the directory, just rename the main
sought_rules_yerp_org.cf file.
Hmm, a simple symlink, albeit (once) manually set-up, should do, too.
ln -s sought_rules_yerp_org.cf zzz.cf
This would parse anything from the more recent dedicated channel, after
the stock rules (and sought itself) have been parsed. Again.
Yes, this overwrites the sought rules' meta definitions a third time.
But that shouldn't be much of a problem, really. Also, any stale, unused
sub-rules (see my other follow-up) will be ignored by SA prior to
compiling the REs.
This should work as a do-it-once-and-forget workaround to the issue,
rather than relying on ghastly file renaming in the sa-updating cron
job. The latter even is prone to race errors, in rare and specific
circumstances.
or one can use two different directories:
- one for sa-update
- one for spamassassin (and sa-compile): keep the default
and create symlinks in the latter. This way one can
- select the order of inclusion of all channels.
- disable channels without (re)moving their (downloaded) files.
- add ones own rules in the same directory
