[Rspamd-Users] Build rspam package

[rspam at padaru.com]

   Thank you very much!

   The packages from the rspamd-owner are of course an alternative, but I
   want to develop, maybe someone else has an idea, otherwise I can only
   keep trying. :D

I think it depends on what you mean by "official debian repo´s".  It
seems to me that there are two kinds of packages.  The first kind is
those which are provided by the rspamd people.  My guess is that this
would be the preferred way to install (if you can use one of those but
AFAICT, at least for Debian and Ubuntu, packages are only provided for
the x86_64 architecture).  The second kind is those packages which are
provided by the OS distribution.  Distributions will provide packages
for a wider range of architectures, but unfortunately many packages in
distributions are provided with strange configurations, and they often
suffer from neglect.  I wonder if some of the comments in the rspamd
download pages are coloured by a frustration with these things.  I've
seen the same sentiments expressed in other open source projects, and
I've often expressed them myself.

Can you not simply use the packages provided by the rspamd project?

It looks wrong.  Maybe someone who is familiar with the packaging of
rspamd can offer some clarification.  It seems completley wrong to me
if you are trying to build version 3.1 that anything should mention a
version 2.5.  I don't know any more than that (and I might be talking
out of my hat - I have never attempted to build rspamd packages but I
have built other packages, including kernels, for Debian systems with
no particular problems).

I'm afraid that I don't know.

Normally you just follow the instructions. :)  If they do not work
because some development has not been properly tested then for rspamd
I would expect you to be able to find out about it on this list.

I think if you can you should use the provided packages.  If your VM
is 64 bit, that should be straighforward.

I'm afraid I have to leave work for the day now.  Have a good weekend!
