You can probably figure out if it's a package or not.  "rpm -q
spamassassin" ?

There's no official "compiled" or packaged version.  Different distros
have it
available, and there's probably others out there that have it.

Is there a reason you don't make your own package?

"rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-..."

Read the UPGRADE doc, do testing before the install, etc.  Generally
speaking,
the plugins work the same way as before, so just make sure that you have
enabled the ones you want, and disable the ones you don't want.
