No rule updates since Friday or Saturday due to mass-check corpora starvation

No new rule updates are happening for trunk (in addition to Bug 6574
affecting 3.3.2).

According to my backups, the last time trunk rules got updated was
2011-05-07 or 2011-05-08 (uncertainty due to a missing backup).


Counts of sufficiently recent emails from weekly/net masscheck 1100481 from
Saturday:

   197230 ham.log
    38590 spam.log

>From rule-qa for the same weekly/net masscheck, which should be using
the same age limits since 2011-05-05 (Bug #6557):

Current non-spams: 201129
Current spams: 41367

Minimum requirement is 150,000 of each, so we're way low on spam.

svn on spamassassin2.zones.apache.org updated.

Does anybody know whether it's clean to restart the freqsd daemon while 
it's running? Or is it best to wait for it to go quiescent?

Sorry, forgot to mention a trunk rule update also happened:

# diff -r panic-2011-05-09/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004000/ panic-2011-05-10/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004000/ | wc -l
210


As far as I know, 3.3.x is still not getting rule updates for some
unrelated reason:

Looks like the mass-check starvation problem went away:

           spam     ham
      0   221801   201146    0.524   0.00    0.00  (all messages)

Don't know why those numbers on ruleqa are only visible in the source.
Ah, there it is, the "(source details)" link.

The lack of response certainly sounds like a "no".

Has anybody refreshed SVN on spamassassin2.zones.apache.org and restarted 
the masscheck daemon? That is a manual process for code changes (vs. for 
rule changes) (unless things have changed since JM granted me access).
