Not entirely sure what you're asking. sa-update has always worked. I
considered mentioning the stuff about trunk not getting properly
generated scores until recently, but obviously I didn't (
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6644 ). I have
not been doing rules separately. These packages contain a snapshot of
rules I pulled via sa-update on 2011-05-25, just to satisfy the
existing Debian packaging. Maybe I should be clearer that I expect
people to use sa-update.
I didn't consider the use of sa-update that distrubuted rules without
scores as "working".
I know. I really appreciate all the work you've done recently. The
momentum is great. And I agree that getting stuff fixed is more important
in the short term than getting a releases out. But it bothers me how
hard it is to get out an official release.
It bothers me too but I'm less worried about that than putting out a
good product. Improving documentation and streamlining the process is
needed.
Plus, we could likely have beers and a healthy debate about
long-term-server distributions vs. bleeding edge stuff. I'm far more
leaning towards the LTS concept than the latter.
For example, one of the things I think is dumb about eBay is the
arbitrary bidding deadline that leads to sniping. In a real auction, a
new bid would add more time to the auction indefinitely as long as
people are willing to bid.
In our case, as long as we have movement on bugs and nothing major to
justify the release, it makes some sense to keep rolling back the
deadline to get things into the release. We don't get a bonus for
releasing more versions ;-)
So right now, please focus on tickets because the 9/30 is a goal not a
deadline. But I think we are getting very close!
