With the new release of Spsa some technical issues have arisen. For example about how to upgrade to the version 1.5  without re installing the complete system. Christopher gave me the hint to make a workaround to this problem. A small bash script will upgrade Spsa to the latest version with a minimal interaction.

NOTE: I’d advise to try it on some testing virtual  environment  before doing any update on a production server.

At the point where postfix ask about the configuration, say “No configuration”.

This are the steps to perform the upgrade:

Download and execute the script:

wget http://bailey.st/spsa/updatespsa1.4to1.5.sh

chmod +x updatespsa1.4to1.5.sh

./updatespsa1.4to1.5.sh

Welcome to the Spsa update script

this script will upgrade the Spsa version 1.4 to the 1.5.
