Accepted in general, not necessarily for SA. We're only talking about the
Fedora SA packages.
There is so much tweaking and customization to setting up a mail
filtering server, that would be tough to maintain on Fedora unless you do a
vanilla install of everything and stop in which case you aren't going to get
very good results in the mail filtering accuracy.
w/r/t SA, how does RHEL/CentOS differ? In either case you get the SA app +
the current base rules (after the initial sa-update) + an empty Bayes DB.
You then have to administer it.
I didn't see the recompiled Fedora RPM installing any customized rules.
Did I miss something?
As I see it we have some options:
(1) on the SA wiki publish instructions for RHEL and Centos describing how
to download the Fedora SA SRPM and recompile it for RHEL and Centos.
(2) on the SA wiki publish a reference to a dedicated SA repo like what
Kevin Fenzi set up, assuming it's being kept current, as Amir suggests.
(3) provide "official" RPMs (and/or other packaged installs).
I suspect (3) is not practical unless we get some volunteers who are
strongly familiar with the various distros and are willing to do package
management.
Any others?
