Bundle::SpamAssassin
Since it's getting to the point where SpamAssassin in its entirety has
quite a few dependencies and requirements, perhaps could someone create a
Bundle package that installs them? Possibly a
Bundle::Spamassassin::Optional as well for the non-crucial features?

I've just download 3.0, so I've been following the problem
report posts pretty closely. I want to be carefull both
with installation and with the amavis-new interface.
I haven't looked up much on the spamassassin website, but I
did browse through it a bit.
What I didn't see, and would be nice, is if there was a very
clear list of dependencies and perhaps an order of
installation page.
I just installed gnome 2.8 and found their page very helpful
with that. It wasn't perfect, but with all the distros
out there it was probably the best they could do, as
different distros have different libs and put things in
different places.
I'll probably wait for the issues to stabilize. I really
appreciate people listing their problems and solutions. I'm
saving them all so hopefully mine will go more smoothly.

Then you have a very, very old version of CPAN (<1.50?) CPAN hasn't
tried to upgrade core perl in years (since 5.6.0 or 5.6.1 IIRC.)

Agreed. I tend to steer clear of CPAN for large packages, it is far too
keen on upgrading my entire Perl installation instead of just installing
the few modules I actually need.

Right, but I meant since the preferred method of installg/upgrading SA
seems to be via CPAN -- it would make sense to have ALL the dependencies
there too, no?

I have a package for RPM and non-RPM systems which installs everything
required for Mail::ClamAV and SpamAssassin 3 at
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/4/install-Clam-SA.tar.gz
This will do most of the donkey work for you building all the dependencies
in the right order.
It won't take you a minute to remove the ClamAV bits if you don't want them.
