That's "canonical" as in "direct from http://spamassassin.apache.org/";? The download page says RPM: SpamAssassin RPMs can be built directly from the tar file. * Simply run: rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7.tar.gz If necessary use the following option if you grab the bzip2 tar file instead of the gzip version: --define "srcext .bz2" You end up with two RPMs you need to install, instead of Fedora's one, but you end up with canonical SpamAssassin managed by RPM. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | "Never trust a species that grins all the time. aprilcottage.co.uk | It's up to something." | -- Terry Pratchett, about dolphins
