NAME

bogoupgrade - upgrades bogofilter database to current version

SYNOPSIS

bogoupgrade -i input file -o output file [-b path to bogoutil]
            [-h]

DESCRIPTION

bogoupgrade is a command to upgrade bogofilter's databases from (before version 0.7.5) to a version compatible with 0.7.5+. Since the format of the database changes once in a while, the utility is designed to make the upgrade easy.

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:

$ /usr/bin/bogoupgrade -b /usr/bin/bogoutil -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/goodlist -o ~/.bogofilter/goodlist.db $ /usr/bin/bogoupgrade -b /usr/bin/bogoutil -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/badlist -o ~/.bogofilter/spamlist.db If your bogofilter version is 0.7 or greater, say:

$ /usr/bin/bogoupgrade -b /usr/bin/bogoutil -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/hamlist.count -o ~/.bogofilter/goodlist.db $ /usr/bin/bogoupgrade -b /usr/bin/bogoutil -i ~/.bogofilter.safe/spamlist.count -o ~/.bogofilter/spamlist.db

4.

Done. Restart any stopped daemons, cron tasks, etc.

OPTIONS

You must specify the the -i and the -o options to bogoupgrade.

The -h option prints the help message and exits.

The -i specifys 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.
