Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tom Hendrikx (whyscream) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Move contents of DSPAM_HOME/txt to configuration Initial Comment: The contents of DSPAM_HOME/txt (templates for sending e-mail and tagging scanned messages) are no application data but configuration directives. As such they should either be moved to the dspam configuration directory (which does not exist currently), or to a configuration directive in dspam.conf I see a few options here: - pass location of txt directory as an option to configure script (possible but kludgy) - set location of txt directory in dspam.conf - set location of each file in txt directory in dspam.conf - put contents of each file in txt directory into a directive in dspam.conf (very messy) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tom Hendrikx (whyscream) Date: 2011-08-18 18:19 Message: I looked into the problem with using a config directory. Currently, dspam.conf is simply found by using the value of --sysconfdir as sent to the configure script.: CONFIG_DEFAULT="$(sysconfdir)/dspam.conf". Usually sysconfdir is set to /etc or /usr/local/etc, which means dspam is expected at /etc/dspam.conf. Some people seem to disagree on this, and various distros set sysconfdir to "/etc/dspam" to overcome this (observed on debian and gentoo), others don't (fedora, freebsd). When moving the txt files to /etc, an /etc/dspam directory is preferable, so we can place everything in one place. We could change CONFIG_DEFAULT to "$(sysconfdir)/dspam/dspam.conf", and then use the "(sysconfdir)/dspam" for the other files. Not sure how this would be handled by the distros that don't use this path now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tom Hendrikx (whyscream) Date: 2011-08-15 22:24 Message: I attached a patch that creates a new config directive NotificationsDirectory, and uses this path for Notifications and tagSpam/tagnonspamdirectives when it is set. Note that since DSPAM currently has no such thing as a config directory (only a config file location), there is no way to default to something like @config_dir@/txt, so I defaulted to the current location in @dspam_home@/txt. To use a default location in /etc, we should change the way dspam finds its config file. (Note: this is my first patch in C ever that does more than change log output strings, so an additional set of eyes is very advisable). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Julien Valroff (valroff) Date: 2011-08-15 21:14 Message: For the record, Debian ships these files into /etc/dspam/txt/. This is done to comply with the Debian Policy which ensures configuration files are all in /etc All the conf files are then in /etc/dspam/ thanks to the --sysconfdir configure option, and here is the patch we use to retrieve the right location: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-dspam/dspam.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/004_where-to-find-txt-files.diff The path is actually hardcoded, I would however prefer setting the location in dspam.conf (your 2nd proposal).
