bug#39571: evolution and bogofilter

Hello, I'm trying to get spam filtering working in evolution. According
to evolution docs, evolution is supposed to use either bogofilter or
spam assassin. I am focusing on bogofilter since guix has a bogofilter
package. I have set all settings in evolution according to the
evolution docs from the help menu, but cannot get confirmation either
than spam filtering is actually working, or that evolution is in fact
interacting with bogofilter to build a words database. As part of that,
I'm trying to confirm if guix has correct options for that built into
evolution, to properly interact with bogofilter binary.

On the one hand:

- I see in source code of evolution guix pacakage that there is a
bogofilter module
- I see in built guix package that there is a .so library for
bogofilter
- I see, through gsettings, that there is a schema for evolution-
bogofilter

"""
gsettings get org.gnome.evolution.bogofilter command
''

"""

On the other hand:

- I selected all enable junk mail processing options in the preferences
menu and on the account level menu
- I can mark items and junk mail or not junk mail, but there is no feed
back as to whether a filter is doing anything
- I tried marking a bunch of items as junk mail and not junk mail, to
train bogofilter
- It does not appear that anything is automatically being marked as
junk
- if I just run bogofilter command at a shell, I get message

"""
Can't open file 'wordlist.db' in directory
'/home/christopher/.bogofilter'.
error #2 - No such file or directory.

Remember to register some spam and ham messages before you
use bogofilter to evaluate mail for its probable spam status!

"""

As though no database has been created yet.

Thinking maybe some bogofilter path or option not set during package
build. Tried to confirm this viewing build log from guix-build, but
since I have already built the package once from source, I cannot
figure out how to get guix-build to let me build it again.

Quick update: I tried settings the path myself in gnome schema to point
to the bogofilter binary in my profile. After restarting evolution, I
see now there is a words database in my home directory.

So, this may be the solution for me. However, it still leaves open the
question of whether guix evolution pacakge should be providing paths
for bogofilter or spamassassin at compile time, either by default or as
an option. It seems that if you do nothing, by default users of
evolution have no spam filtering, although it looks like they do.

Hi Christopher,

I'm afraid I don't have any useful feedback regarding Evolution, but ...

You can use 'guix build --no-grafts --log-file evolution' to get the
build log; or 'guix build --no-grafts --check evolution' to force a
rebuild (and check for bit-reproducibility at the same time).

Obviously BOGOFILTER and SPAMASSASSIN are enabled, but I'm not seeing
INSTALL_DIR option or similar to set paths to BOGOFILTER and
SPAMASSASSIN. I still don't know if one can be set or not, just that I
don't see it there. I tried to look into that earlier but my lack of
familiarity with cmake got in the way of figuring out the answer. If
such a config option doesn't exist, I think we would need to ask for
it, or patch it in. Otherwise all new Guix gnome users are going to be
wondering why spam filtering is not working in evolution, even though
they installed bogofilter (or spamassassin).

You can use 'guix build --no-grafts --log-file evolution' to get

What is the status?  Is it fixed for you?  If no, could you do an update
on this bug? :-)
