<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Julian<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Recently I think you asked for comments suggestions
for the installer. At the time nothing occurred to me, as it generally works
very well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>However after upgrading to newest
spamassassin + MailScanner some things stood out which could be improved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The following are for those of us using the
tarball way to install (I run debian and their packages are oooold)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>When I install I do the following things manually
every time I have to upgrade MailScanner:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>1: Copy over the old report text files so the
users get our customized texts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>It would be super if the installer could do
this for you somehow, basically ask if it should look for the old directory and
copy over old files somehow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This is also true for the old
configuration. I assume that most people who upgrade will want to run the
upgrade_conf script on their old configuration to create an up2date
configuration file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This could also (in a simple way I think)
be done by the installer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Basically what I imagine is that (either by
default or by passing the installer an option) he installer asks the user:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>What is the path to the old mailscanner
install?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Do you want to upgrade the old
configuration?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Do you want to keep you report/msg texts?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m not sure if there could be more
points, but its possible. The ones I have outlined are the ones I would like to
have automated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>2: It’s more or less the same as the
above points, so as for the reports/text issues. The same goes for rulesets. Every
time I upgrade I have to manually copy the rulesets I use to the new directory
for the paths in the configuration to be valid. I guess this could be solved by
placing them outside the mailscanner directory, but that sort of breaks the
intended installation “style” if you know what I mean.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’d like your thought on this one as
maybe I’m doing it the wrong way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Anyway that’s about it, to sum it up:
I would love for the installer to be more umm assisting in upgrade, by asking
the user questions about his old install and then offering to do some of the
tasks involved in upgrading for him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I hope the above is comprehensible (English
isn’t my native language)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Let me know if I have been unclear on some
of the points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks again for providing this brilliant
piece of software.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
