Hi everybody,
I greatly enjoyed my time working on SpamAssassin, but sadly I haven’t had time
to work on SpamAssassin in a long time.
As a result, I’d like to officially resign from the project, both as a
committer and as a member of the SpamAssassin PMC.
Thanks
Duncan Findlay

I'm sure there were some SpamAssassin-derived

the older re2c versions. I discoverd this while fixing the crash. So in
0.12.0 and HEAD both issues are resolved.
Alright, I'll make spamassassin recommend re2c (= 0.12.0) as soon as
such a version of re2c is uploaded to Debian.

Hey folks,
The version of re2c currently in Debian is 0.9.x, and according to the
sa-compile man page, 0.10.x is needed for the Rule2XSBody plugin. As
far as I can tell, sa-compile is working fine with 0.9.x. Anybody know
the reason behind recommending 0.10.x?
--
Duncan Findlay
for
you then that should be OK.
So, if sa-compile doesn't fail, the version of re2c is adequate?
