Hello, I believe you are reporting this to the wrong person since sa-compile is not a part of mimedefang, but in case if you are interested in my own opinion the necessity of rebuilding all of the binaries after a major update is clearly stated in handbook. You did broke the procedure and faced consequences. That's it. The problem described is a general problem -- how does any app notify its users after a system or dependency upgrade that it needs to be rebuild ? So it's not a bug of mimedefang, but a general problem. Adding pkg-messages to any port just because of that general problem does not seem sensible. (In reply to m.tsatsenko from comment #1) Sorry, I strongly disagree with you. The point is: you cannot "rebuild the binaries" (actually in this case it is the collection of spam-fighting-rules) afterwards the easy way because the compile command refuses to run anymore! First you have to remove the old binaries manually, then you can rebuild them. And this procedure is not written in any book, at least in none that I have read (what, of course, is not real argument, I know :-) ) My main reason of reporting this here was that others can read it and take countermeasures when they run into it. Last week I have updated another FBSD Box and it happened again, but I have remembered the problem and could fix it fast. Of course, this remove/recreate feature would belong into the makefile of mimedefang/spamassassin (for me it looks like ONE port, you cant have one without the other) |
