I'm trying to update my CentOS 7 distro 3.4.0 package to the 3.4.2 source
package in the Fedora 29 repo and wanted to alert others to possible issues.
<https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/29/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/spamassassin-3.4.2-2.fc29.src.rpm>
(Why is there a Fedora 29 package but not one in the Rawhide directory? I
usually go to Rawhide so I'm debugging the forward edge.)
I installed the build dependencies and added re2c so I could try the
compiled regex feature before issuing "rpmbuild --rebuild" on the SRPM. I
then ran yum update on the resulting RPM.
First, spamd kept restarting. It turns out my old
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin file was running spamd as a daemon and there
was a .rpmnew file without -d, so I needed to copy that over the old file.
Change in systemd file, I guess.
Next, the new sysconfig file had --razor-home-dir=/var/lib/razor and no
such directory exists on an RHEL-based system. So I removed the razor
parameters from the sysconfig file. (Does this prevent spamd from using
razor? I do have perl-Razor-Agent-2.85 installed.)
I got a bunch of warnings about the SPF_ rule scores set to zero. It turned
out I'd set them to 0 in local.cf as I don't want SPF. (It's an internal
server.) So instead I commented out the loadplugin in init.pre. (I'd wanted
to avoid editing the distro-supplied file and change the setting in a
subsequent site file but that's not possible to opt out of a loadplugin.)
I tried enabling compiled regex support (I installed the re2c package and
added loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody to a .pre file)
and get this warning in maillog:
Can't locate Mail/SpamAssassin/CompiledRegexps/body_0.pm in @INC (@INC

I've run sa-update so when should the rules get compiled and where should
the result go?
