[Bug 5042] New: Add archive option to sa-update

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5042

           Summary: Add archive option to sa-update
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sa-update
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bret.miller@wcg.org


Currently, sa-update replaces the entire set of channel rules when it updates.
This could possible lead to a condition where an update destroys a set of
working rules in favor of a set that doesn't work as well. Adding an option to
archive the current set prior to updating would provide protection against this
in that the admin could then manually restore a previous rule set.

One idea for doing this would be to create an archive subdirectory and tgz the
current rules into a file named by channel version number. A limited number of
versions should be kept.

Both the archiving and the number of archived versions should be configurable
options-- maybe --noarchive and --numarchives=n.
