Description Warren Togami 2007-02-09 18:07:14 UTC
Odd minor problem... low priority.

/usr/share/man/man1/sa-update.1.gz differs by the following unidiff between the
32bit and 64bit architecture builds of spamassassin.

This appears to be the only difference in version 3.1.7.  Notice that the 32bit
version retained the original source timestamp, while the 64bit version somehow
decided to differ in this behavior by changing the timestamp to the build date.
 The above example is 3.1.7 built on RHEL4, but this persists through perl-5.8.8
in FC7 too.

While this appears to create a multilib conflict, in practice this is not a real
problem because spamassassin is based on perl, and we don't ship both archs in a
multilib distribution.

This bug is merely to figure out *why* it is behaving in this strange way
betweeen 32bit and 64bit builds.

Oops, spamd.1 manpage also differs.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 19:04:34 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we're following is outlined here:

We will be following the process here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this
doesn't happen again.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-07 01:09:20 UTC
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was
first requested. As a result we are closing it.

If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora
version please feel free to reopen it against that version.

This issue is still present in Fedora 8:

Comment 5 Paul Howarth 2008-05-07 08:09:14 UTC
Whoops, this bug is referring to the timestamp *in* the file rather than the
timestamp *of* the file. In spamassassin-3.2.4-1.fc8 these files are identical
in content between i386 and x86_64 so I'll close the bug again. Sorry for the noise.
