Summary: tweak announcement mail to not use "curl"/"sa-update
--import"
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.3.0
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Building & Packaging

Minor tweak to the announcement mail before 3.3.0 goes out. IMO this
does not need revoting on the tarballs.

Actually, this *is* wrong, but not in the way you thought ;)
As noted, the rule-update signing key has not changed, since it was
already 4096-bit. This means that the "curl" step is not necessary at
all, since the distributed sa-update already knows about that key
and trusts it out-of-the-box. I propose we replace the section of the
mail text with this:
==============================================
INSTALLING RULES
Rules are normally installed by running a sa-update command.
The version of sa-update program should match the version of SpamAssassin
modules, so invoking sa-update should be performed only after installing
or upgrading SpamAssassin code, not before.
Installing rules from network is done with a single command,
normally run as root:
sa-update
Installing rules from files:
obtain all the following files:
Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-xxx.tgz
Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-xxx.tgz.asc
Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-xxx.tgz.md5
Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-xxx.tgz.sha1
(where xxx may look something like '3.3.0.r893295')
install rules from a compressed tar archive:
sa-update --install Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-xxx.tgz
(sa-update will need corresponding .asc and .sha1 files with the
same base name in a current directory)
==============================================
I've tested this and it works fine.
