[SAdev] [Bug 1006] Spamassassin's build process makes packaging
    unnecessarily difficult

------- Additional Comments From jm@jmason.org  2002-10-03 13:29 -------
1. Use of $Config is gradually being removed, thankfully.  I don't want
to see any of that stuff in there if it acn be avoided, as different
perl versions jsut vary so much in that stuff.
2. perl has no concept of where the rules could be -- unless they're in
the perl libdir (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.x.x/foo).  Perl does not
know about the existence of /usr/share or /etc.  Used to use /usr/lib/perl5
for storing rules, and it was actually *much worse* than it is now. So
we need an out-of-band way to tell SA where to find this stuff. that's
3. try "perl Makefile.PL < /dev/null" to allow bots to build it.
I think I might be missing some details of what you're peeved about,
though... could you elaborate specifically?
