Source Releases

The source-code releases can be used on any platform with a Python interpreter

The source-code releases can be downloaded, as either a gzipped tarball or a zip file, directly from the file releases for this project.

Prerequisites:

Either:
• Python 2.2.2 or above, or a Subversion build of python, or
• Python 2.2, 2.2.1, plus the latest email package.

Once you've downloaded and unpacked the source archive, do the regular setup.py build; setup.py install dance, then:

• if you're running Outlook2000, change to the Outlook2000 directory and run 'addin.py'. See the 'about.html' file in the Outlook2000 directory for more.
• otherwise, consult the README.txt file in the package and choose the method that suits your setup best.

Files, MD5 checksums, signatures and sizes

The signatures below were generated with GnuPG using release manager Tony Meyer's public key, which has a key id of F23F732A.

• e7be822f158095e800706ee606f98be3 spambayes-1.1a6.exe (10,335,608 bytes, sig)
• d06ed6d097911ddc8db31b4e9663df4b spambayes-1.1a6.tar.gz (1,007,785 bytes, sig)
• 4ff34bed1ca1ab9cf280b0b2a2a0375e spambayes-1.1a6.zip (1,144,672 bytes, sig)

You can import the release manager public keys by either downloading the public key file and then running

% gpg --import TonyMeyer.asc

or by grabbing the key directly from the keyserver network by running this command:

% gpg --recv-keys F23F732A

To verify the authenticity of the download, grab both the file(s) and the signature(s) (above) and then run this command:

% gpg --verify spambayes-1.0.2.exe.asc

Note that you must use the name of the signature file, and you should use the one that's appropriate to the download you're verifying.

These instructions are geared to GnuPG and command-line weenies. Suggestions are welcome for other OpenPGP applications.

The code is currently available from the SourceForge Subversion server.
