SpamAssassin update from 3.3.1 to 3.4.1

[Gene Steinberg]

As I say way above, CentOS 7, and root.

Peace,

My sample above only for 32bit src.rpm package. Use 64bit src.rpm for building 64bit Spamassassin package. Do not mix architectures.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

OK, so how about 64-bit instructions?

No reply?

My sample above only for 32bit src.rpm package. Use 64bit src.rpm and the same instruction for building 64bit Spamassassin package.

Ok. My brief instruction for CentOS6.
Note, it is common instruction and you may have own nuances for your system.

1. Install all necessary packages:

# yum install rpm-build openssl-devel gcc make perl-Geo-IP perl-Mail-SPF perl-Net-CIDR-Lite

2. Download src.rpm package from Fedora repository:

# wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/s/spamassassin-3.4.1-7.fc24.src.rpm

you can take this package from any other repository.

3. Build rpm package:

# rpmbuild --rebuild spamassassin-3.4.1-7.fc24.src.rpm

4. Update spamassassin:

# rpm -Uvh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/spamassassin-3.4.1-7.el6.i686.rpm

5. Check that it is up and running:

# /etc/init.d/spamassassin status
spamd (pid 21859) is running...

I went to the above FTP repository, and didn't see a version specifically labeled 64-bit. Is there a better source?

Or is it how it's built? Why not just repost this with the proper links and steps?

Peace,

Why do not you try it yourself? Why you can't use direction given by me above?

Well, I did it for you on my test CentOS release 6.5 x86_64:

# yum install rpm-build openssl-devel gcc make perl-Geo-IP perl-Mail-SPF perl-Net-CIDR-Lite perl-Archive-Tar
# wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/fedora-secondary/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/s/spamassassin-3.4.1-7.fc24.src.rpm
# rpmbuild --rebuild spamassassin-3.4.1-7.fc24.src.rpm

as result you have x86_64 spamassassin CentOS6 rpm:

# ll rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/spamassassin-3.4.1-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1316076 May 11 07:42 rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/spamassassin-3.4.1-7.el6.x86_64.rpm

I hope it will help.

Is there a CentOS 6.8 86_64 package? The 6.5 package is not working for me.

As you can see. I took src.rpm for Fedora Core - spamassassin-3.4.1-7.fc24.src.rpm but not for any special version of CentOS.

Hi, im trying to upgrade spamassassin too.
Im running CentOS 6 x64 with Plesk 12.
After run :
# rpm -Uvh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/spamassassin-3.4.1-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
I get this error:
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Geo::IP) is needed by spamassassin-3.4.1-7.el6.x86_64
perl(Net::CIDR::Lite) is needed by spamassassin-3.4.1-7.el6.x86_64

I tried to install that with yum, but say not exists. Then I installed it with cpan, but still get the error.
What can i do? I want to upgrade spamassassin because since this Monday, there a lot of spam that get very low scores, so just hope that upgrade help...

PD: sorry for my english...

Hi uniauto,

even that the CPAN - installation should be sufficient, yum doesn't seem to find the paths. Consider to manually install the packages after you searched and downloaded them for example at => http://rpm.pbone.net <= :

perl-Geo-IP - version: 1.38 => http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/sta.../com/perl-Geo-IP-1.38-10mgc30.x86_64.rpm.html
perl-Net-CIDR-Lite - version: 0.15 => http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/sta...com/perl-Net-CIDR-Lite-0.15-8.noarch.rpm.html

Thank for the answer, that packeds give me error, but then found this that worked fine
https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/c...PMS/perl-Geo-IP-1.31-1.el5.centos.x86_64.html
https://pkgs.org/centos-6/repoforge-i386/perl-Net-CIDR-Lite-0.20-1.2.el6.rf.noarch.rpm.html

Spamassassin is updated now to 3.4.1, hope i didnt break anything in the way to upgrade it....
