The SpamAssassin has published a rules file for eons along with
releases, e.g. the bolded part of the release:
Released version, 4.0.0
SpamAssassin in tar.gz format. (signatures: GPG SHA-256 SHA-512)
SpamAssassin in tar.bz2 format. (signatures: GPG SHA-256 SHA-512)
SpamAssassin in ZIP format. (signatures: GPG SHA-256 SHA-512)
Announcement, Detailed Changes
* SpamAssassin sa-update rules tarball, for use if you cannot run
sa-update to download these automatically after installing. (signatures:
GPG SHA-256 SHA-512)*
If you don't like what a distribution such as redhat chooses to do from
there should really be discussed with those package maintainers.
Regards,
KAM
