Bug#253464: RFP: rulesdujour -- RulesDuJour is a bash script intended to automatically download new versions of SpamAssassin rulesets as the author s release new versions.
I can't for the life of me figure out why this response, nor my report
to spamassassin never seemed to make it in to the BTS, so I am
resending it (originally sent Jun 9th):

A fine idea, I will submit a wishlist bug on spamassassin and then
merge this bug with that one, or is there a better way to do that?

I was trying to locate the author, and I finally got him (his
obfuscated email address was pretty obfuscated). I asked about the
license, he replied (see below) that GPL was fine with him.

This address works :)

Yes, I'm the author. I haven't assigned a license to RDJ yet but GPL is
fine for me.
A Debian package... cool :)
I'm an avid Debian user myself but don't know jack about making
packages.
Some things to consider:
- Built-in auto-updating of the script should be disabled or enabled?
- It would probably make more sense to use a config file in /etc/
instead of the my_rules_du_jour wrapper.
