sa-update is a generic tool that lets users download
"channels" (ie: bundles
of rules/plugins) from anywhere that decides to publish them

certain setup, etc.) At the moment, the only published
channel that I know
of is updates.spamassassin.org. (all this is in

Has anyone considered also supplying new rules in the
form of rpm's available via a yum-compatible repository?
It'd be nice to have the usual versioning and logging
support as well as a central update facility. This
could be done as a gateway to sa-update, perhaps
providing the updates in other package formats as well.
For about a femto-second, perhaps. There is too much YMMV
involved with the SARE rule sets to make it practical as
an rpm solution.
