Description David N. Blank-Edelman 2002-03-04 09:25:02 UTC 
Howdy-
  Justin agreed that this was a "bug" right before he split. Short summary:

if you want to install the rule files some place else besides the default, you
might think that (undocumented) changes to Makefile.PL should do it.
Unfortunately this just controls where rules are installed. To actually make SA
look for them in the new spot, you need to hand-edit the lists in
lib/Mail/Spamassassin.pm.

Suggested fix:

useplaceholder variables in Spamassassin.pm ala:

@default_rules_path = qw(
        $DEF_RULES_DIR
        /usr/local/share/spamassassin
         ...

and then have something like fixpath substitute the contents of that variable
from Makefile.PL. (then add this to the README doc's install section).

Thanks!
