[Bug 1366983] [NEW] /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin should support auto-updating 3rd party rulesets

[Lenny Gottesman]

Public bug reported:

Wishlist item.

I was hoping to add the Sought ruleset to spamassassin
(https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SoughtRules), and I couldn't find
an elegant way to integrate it with the packaged daily cronjob. It would
be very easy to implement, however, and I hope you'd consider it.

What I'm picturing is replacing the following line in /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
su - debian-spamd -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys"

With something like this:
su - debian-spamd -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys --channelfile /etc/spamassassin/sa-update-channels"

And then have the package /etc/spamassassin/sa-update-channels file
contain only "updates.spamassassin.org", but let end users add to this
file if they wish.

Any interest in implementing this?

Thanks,
Lenny
