BOGOUPGRADE(1) Bogofilter Reference Manual BOGOUPGRADE(1)

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.
