[rhn-users] install addtional modules

[Mansour, Michael]

My preferred way is to use 3rd party repo's like ATrpms, then you don't
need to worry about upgrades, just continue to query the repo and Axel
will package it in RPM when it's out (and include all the requires
dependencies).

It's much easier to manage RPM packages than .packlist files in perl
(where you then need perl plus to get any use out of those files).

Compile using perl is unnecessary when you have such good repo's out
there that (tens of) thousands of people use and test. Maintenance of
these packages are tested and done at that end, compiled for specific
distributions and leaving an Admin more time to do other (more
important) things.

Michael.

Would love to answer, but I always used

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin'

To install it.. It then will auto install anything I needed
