The only problem I see with the above, is that no script should be
overwriting rules that are distributed in a package. So if I
distribute a spamassassin-rules .deb, which would stick files in
/usr/share/spamassassin, no script should go in and overwrite those
rules. sa-update should be writing to somewhere in
/var/lib/spamassassin (or /var/cache/spamassassin ?) and
spamassassin/spamd should be reading from that location if it exists.

So, looks like spamassassin/spamd probably needs to be modified to
read from /var/lib/spamassassin if we want sa-update to work this way.


I am in agreement that sa-update should download rules/scores into somewhere in /var, and it shouldn't overwrite files distributed by the package. I am not so sure I like the separate co-dependent package for scores thing as a requirement.

I am a little confused about the terminology, active-set means network tests right?
