Re: [gentoo-dev] [ANNOUNCE] bayesiam SPAM filter 'bogofilter' ebuild on bugzilla

[Evan Read]

Well, I had already done one.

See: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8828 for bogofilter and
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8827 for Judy.

I had been waiting for the "unfreeze" for them to be included and then 
for my exams to finish so I could "Gentoo-ise" them more. Based on the 
numbers, you will see they have been in the pipe along time

I like your ebuilds, but they are dups of mine. They are more 
"gentoo-ised" than mine.

So while I am happy that yours came along, I would have preferred you 
check to see if existing work was there and work on that and test 
that.  All your difference look good and I will be sure to test them.

Thanks.

Evan.
