Before accepting any mail with the new version of debbugs, you must +run the 'debbugs-upgradestatus' program over your bug spool. The old .status +files will be left intact, and will continue to be written in sync with the +.summary files for compatibility with external tools. + +There is a new standalone spam-scanning script called spamscan, which uses +the SpamAssassin modules. To use it, set the $gSpamScan variable in +/etc/debbugs/config to a true value and $gSpamMailbox to an mbox file to +which detected spam should be appended, add /usr/lib/debbugs/spamscan to +your crontab as per the example, and optionally set $gSpamRulesDir and +$gSpamLocalTestsOnly as desired. + +From 2.4 to 2.4.1 +----------------- + +Add the following variables to the /etc/debbugs/config file: + +$gHTMLSuffix = ".html"; + +The use of $gCGIDomain has been cleaned up; formerly, it needed to begin +with "http://", which was confusingly inconsistent with all the other domain +variables.
