Re: version.h.pl show stopper

[Dan Jacobson]

It turns out that spamassassin is depending on risky behavior,
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-1238
I have submitted a patch,
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7367 .

Re: How to use BUILD_SPAMC=no ?

[Dan Jacobson]

I see. Submitted https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7376

How to use BUILD_SPAMC=no ?

[Dan Jacobson]

In Makefile.PL we observe

  'BUILD_SPAMC'  ,# Set to 'no' to skip build of spamc.
  'BUILD_SPAMD',  # Set to 'no' to skip build of spamd.

Does this mean we can do
perl Makefile.PL BUILD_SPAMC=no BUILD_SPAMD=no ?

But if I see

cd spamc
/usr/bin/perl version.h.pl

in the compilation, does that mean I have made a mistake?

Re: version.h.pl show stopper

[Dan Jacobson]

You people were right about
$ mount|grep noexec
And the tests really should check for that. I'll submit a bug.

That apparently was the problem on one of my machines.
But for all the rest, this still fails:

env - HOME=$HOME LOGNAME=$LOGNAME PATH=/usr/bin:/bin USER=$USER sh -uxe 

Re: version.h.pl show stopper

[Dan Jacobson]

Sure, it exists
$ find -name version.h.pl -ls
   432321  4 -rwxr-xr-x   1 jidanni  jidanni  1107 Nov 19 09:19 
./spamc/version.h.pl
but that doesn't help anything.

version.h.pl show stopper

[Dan Jacobson]

$ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk /tmp/ee
$ cd /tmp/ee
$ echo|perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/g
$ make

In the end you will see

cd spamc
/usr/bin/perl version.h.pl
spamc/configure.pl: Can't exec `version.h.pl': No such file or directory at 
spamc/configure.pl line 74.
Makefile:1812: recipe for target 'spamc/Makefile' failed
make: *** [spamc/Makefile] Error 2

No?

Help, on some of my machines I constantly get
$ svn update
Arulesrc/sandbox/jquinn
Arulesrc/sandbox/jquinn/20_misc.cf
Urulesrc/scores/scores-set0
Urulesrc/scores/stats-set0
Urulesrc/scores/scores-set1

Urulesrc/scores/72_scores.cf
svn: Unable to parse URL 
'/repos/asf/!svn/bc/1673327/spamassassin/trunk/powered_by/powered by 
spamassassin.psd'
On others things go fine.

I am not the owner of svn on some of the machines, so cannot update it
if that is the issue. Please use more conservative file names if that is
the issue.
