[Bug 5619] New: auto-generated spamassassin(1) man page repetition
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5619
Summary: auto-generated spamassassin(1) man page repetition
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.3
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: jidanni@jidanni.org
Allow us to examine this section of the man pages, a part of the
spamassassin(1) man page.
CONFIGURATION FILES
The SpamAssassin rule base, text templates, and rule description text
are loaded from configuration files.
Default configuration data is loaded from the first existing directory
in:
/home/jidanni/var/spamassassin/3.002003
/home/jidanni/share/spamassassin
/home/jidanni/share/spamassassin
Excuse me but you are repeating that line!
/usr/local/share/spamassassin
/usr/share/spamassassin
Site-specific configuration data is used to override any values which
had already been set. This is loaded from the first existing directory
in:
/home/jidanni/etc/mail/spamassassin
/home/jidanni/etc/mail/spamassassin
Excuse me but you are repeating that line!
/home/jidanni/etc/spamassassin
/usr/local/etc/spamassassin
/usr/pkg/etc/spamassassin
/usr/etc/spamassassin
/etc/mail/spamassassin
/etc/spamassassin
From those three directories, SpamAssassin will first read files ending
Excuse me but we don't know what "three" directories you are exactly
referring to here!
in ".pre" in lexical order and then it will read files ending in ".cf"
in lexical order (most files begin with two numbers to make the sorting
order obvious).
In other words, it will read init.pre first, then 10_default_prefs.cf
before 50_scores.cf and 20_body_tests.cf before 20_head_tests.cf.
Options in later files will override earlier files.
Individual user preferences are loaded from the location specified on
the "spamassassin", "sa-learn", or "spamd" command line (see respective
manual page for details). If the location is not specified, ~/.spamas-
sassin/user_prefs is used if it exists. SpamAssassin will create that
file if it does not already exist, using user_prefs.template as a tem-
plate. That file will be looked for in:
/home/jidanni/etc/mail/spamassassin
/home/jidanni/etc/mail/spamassassin
Excuse me but you are repeating that line!
/home/jidanni/share/spamassassin
/etc/spamassassin
/etc/mail/spamassassin
/usr/local/share/spamassassin
/usr/share/spamassassin

More to the point, those two directories might not be the same depending on how
you configured your make process while calling perl MakeFile.pl.
The first one is DEF_RULES_DIR. The second one is PREFIX/share/spamassassin.
unless explicitly over-ridden separately, DEF_RULES_DIR defaults to
PREFIX/share/spamassassin. However users do have the option of pointing it
somewhere separate if they want, and that needs to be reflected in their docs.

Those values are replaced at install time by what you configured at build time.
If you'd like to see them fixed patches are welcome.
