Nightly Mass-Check Runs

What?

Nightly mass-check MassCheck runs are currently the primary vehicle for evaluating the quality of rules checked into SpamAssassin. Every night contributors check out a specific revision of SpamAssassin from SVN and run MassCheck on their corpora. They upload their results MassCheck logs to an rsync server and these are parsed by a set of scripts , where the RuleQaApp analyses the logs.

(There's also an older, clunkier version of the analysis scripts running on DanielQuinlan's server and the results are available at ; see http://www.pathname.com/~corpus .)

How?

The corpus-nightly script in the masses/ directory of the SpamAssassin tree can be used to set this up. It's probably not very well documented, (WeLoveVolunteers), but it should work. You'll also need to ask for RsyncAccounts and make sure you get a "nightly" account rather than a release-time account.
