Upgrading

[Grant Peel <gp...@thenetnow.com>]

Hi all,

What would the reccomended procedure be for upgrading SA from 3.001008 to 
3.002003 and then staying up to date.

This would be on FreeBSD 6.n, with the original SA installed from ports.

TIA,

-Grant

It seems to me that using `portupgrade -a` is not very good.
You should consult /usr/ports/UPDATING and look if there are special 
instructions for any of your installed packages.

Hi Grant,

First update the ports (see the handbook how (cvsup-without-gui and 
portupgrade))
After this you'll run portupgrade -a

Sorry, just saw this.

Should be easy, a portupgrade -R p5-Mail-SpamAssassin should do it.
You MIGHT 'stop' every now and then if a dependency doesn't build right,
just build it by hand.


Upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 will change the directory the default *.cf files
are in (but the user cf's are still in /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin)
>From the pkg-message:
NOTE:  FREEBSD users: If you are updating to 3.20 you will find
that sa-update now places state files in /var/db/spamassassin
and not the default /var/lib/spamassassin.  This is to be consistant
with Freebsd file directory conventions

Portupgrade will ask (and timeout if you are not there) and ask if you want
to run sa-update and sa-compile.

It should also preserve the existing *.pre files and local.cf.

Set a cronjob to run sa-update && sa-compile && restart spamd (or
amavisd-new)

Any problems, post a PR with send-pr or visit www.freebsd.org, click on
support, click on add problem report.
