You can grab a tarball containing the MailScanner RPM and all the source RPMs for its dependencies. You just need to run install.sh and it'll build and install the whole thing. One caveat: it'll create or modify ~/.rpmmacros slightly which is worth remembering if you ever want to build any RPMs :-)
The tarball is available from http://mailscanner.info/downloads.html (the one marked "for RedHat, CentOS, and Fedora Linux and other RPM-based Linux distrbutions" - latest is 4.81.4-1). > So to sum things up, is django still needed and what do you recommend > for a setup to make upgrades simple.

It was pretty straightforward, though I did add the EPEL and IUS repositories to make life easier (IUS mainly for PHP, as I'm also running the BarricadeMX web interface on there, but they've got some python packages too). The repository websites are: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL http://iuscommunity.org/ To get it working I also needed these packages: http://topdog-software.com/oss/baruwa/1.0.0/rpm/ http://topdog-software.com/oss/MySQL-python/ http://topdog-software.com/oss/dojo/ http://topdog-software.com/oss/python-reportlab/ (I *think* that's everything...) We've got an RHN satellite server which makes things easy; I just put these packages in a custom channel and did: yum -y install httpd mod_ssl mod_wsgi MySQL-python mysql-server dojo python-reportlab baruwa This sorts out all the dependencies nicely and pulls them in as needed, so I'm afraid I don't have the full list of packages it installed - however if you install the RPMs manually, if there's anything missing those should all be installable via yum in the same way. The easiest thing is probably to put all the RPMs together in one directory and run: yum localinstall *.rpm You shouldn't need to do any compiling, I've got it all up and running from packages (Andrew's also kindly fixed a few bugs I found in the report filtering; the 1.0.0-3 RPM includes the patches and it's working fine). Hope that helps if you decide to go with CentOS!
