New mirror, how to tell sa-update to use it?
Hi,
I've set up an SA Update mirror at https://mirror.one.com/spamassassin/
if it is of any interest (I know it doesn't match the sa-update.<domain>
convention, would that be a blocker?)
For our own machines we'd like to set sa-update to use this mirror with
highest priority but I'm failing to find a way to point sa-update to use
any custom list of mirrors short of editing MIRRORED.BY, but since
sa-update updates that file on a regular basis... Any pointers on how I
would accomplish this?

Yes, that fits very well. Building a new package with it now... Thanks! :)

Does this diff fits your use case ? There is space for improvement but it works.

Just mirroring the sa-update channel. We are rsyncing
rsync.spamassassin.org::updates every 10min as described in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/SaUpdateMirrorSetup

We have ~50 servers and counting running spamassassin so I figured it
would be nicer for everyone if we could pull that data from our own network.
Just a --mirrors <path-to-mirrors-file> parameter to sa-update would be
nice. I guess I could give putting that in myself a shot though... My
perl-fu isn't all that strong but seems all it would need is a parameter
to override this line:
my $mirby_path = File::Spec->catfile($UPDDir, "MIRRORED.BY");
+ skip the following bit that updates the file if it doesn't exits or is
too old.

Are you trying to publish your own channel? The sa-update channel? Both?
Are you rsyncing the current channel?
There is no concept of local waiting or GeoIP currently in sa-update.
Rules are cryptographically signed and relatively small that is really not
an issue BUT patches to add a specific URL would be welcome. I can see
some large providers might want to use this.
