IMO, stuff like SpamAssassin and Clam Antivirus can''t be kept in a 5
year release-cycle.  I''ve found some major show-stopper bugs with
SpamAssassin 2.x that were corrected in 3.x.  So while I use CentOS to
keep 99% of the packages in a stable release cycle, I update a few
packages manually.  And it''s super easy to build an RPM for
SpamAssassin:

Grab the latest tarball, install the rpm-devel package and then:

rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.2.tar.gz
