+-Le 24/09/2004 18:20 -0700, Pat Lashley a dit :
| SA 3.0 should probably be a separate port rather than an update
| to the existing SA port; due to the lack of backwards compatability
| in the API.  For example, it would break the Exim port which by
| default includes the ExiScan patches.  (The Exim port would still
| build; but the SpamAssassin support would fail at run time.)

I don't think we will keep the old spamassassin. The 2.64 version will be
the only one working with 5.005_03, but well... It's not possible to have
SA3 work with 5.005_03 (believe me, I tried).
So, a few days before committing the SA3 update, I'll send a mail with the
patch I plan to commit to maintainers of ports depending on SA264 for them
to update/patch/whatever.
