NAME
bogoupgrade - upgrades bogofilter database to current version
SYNOPSIS
bogoupgrade [-h] -d directory [-i input file] [-o output file]
[-b path to bogoutil]
DESCRIPTION
bogoupgrade is a command to upgrade bogofilter´s databases from an old
format to the current format. Since the format of the database changes
once in a while, the utility is designed to make the upgrade easy.
OPTIONS
The -h option prints the help message and exits.
The -d specifies the directory with the wordlists for converting. This
option is used when converting from multiple, separate wordlists
(spamlist.db and goodlist.db - containing spam and ham tokens,
respectively) to a combined wordlist (wordlist.db) which contains both
spam and ham tokens.
The -i specifies the input file to be converted. It should be a text
file containing message counts, and possibly data. If there is no data
in the text file, there should be a Berkeley DB file in the same
directory as the text file which contains the data.
The -o specifies the output Berkeley DB file.
The -b gives the path to the bogoutil command. It defaults to
´bogoutil´, in the hopes that your shell will find it.
UPGRADING
Follow these instructions to upgrade bogofilter´s databases to the
latest version.
1. Stop all instances of bogofilter. While the upgrade tools lock the
database files, the upgrade may take a long time if you have a busy
site. Don´t forget to stop cron jobs or daemons that fetch and
process mail and could fire off bogofilter.
2. Backup your data. Let´s assume that you said:
$ mv ~/.bogofilter ~/.bogofilter.safe
$ mkdir ~/.bogofilter
3. If your bogofilter version is less than 0.7, say:
$ bogoupgrade -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/goodlist -o ~/.bogofilter/goodlist.db
$ bogoupgrade -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/badlist -o ~/.bogofilter/spamlist.db
If your bogofilter version is 0.7 or greater, say:
$ bogoupgrade -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/hamlist.count -o ~/.bogofilter/goodlist.db
$ bogoupgrade -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/spamlist.count -o ~/.bogofilter/spamlist.db
4. Current versions of bogofilter use a combined wordlist that holds
both spam and non-spam tokens. It is named wordlist.db. If you´re
updating from a version older than 0.14.0 that has separate
wordlists (named goodlist.db and spamlist.db), use:
$ bogoupgrade -d ~/.bogofilter.safe
5. Done. Restart any stopped daemons, cron tasks, etc.
