bogotune 0.2.2

[David Relson]

pi,

The database cache size is settable via the config file "db_cachesize" 
option.  Also, bogotune needs "terse_format=%0.16f" to properly format the 
spam scores.  (Note:  this correction will be in bogofilter-0.13.7 which I 
expect to release in a couple of hours).

A script like the following will set up an appropriate config file and run 
bogotune:

#!/bin/sh
cat <<EOF > bogotune.cf
db_cachesize=3
terse_format=%0.16f
block_on_subnets=Yes
replace_nonascii_characters=No
EOF

bogotune -v test.d -c bogotune.cf -n nonspamfiles* -s spamfiles*

The config file above should handle the patch problem for you.

That'll work if "." is in your path, so bogotune can run bogol.

Yes - see sample "run" script above.
