The reason you use a package management system is to have readily packaged software so that you don't have to deal with all of the various issues created by installing from tarballs. Amanda is packaged by Fedora and if Gene feels that the packages are inadequate, he should be offering alternative packages for inclusion. Amanda is a PITA to set up and get running but so is Bacula, which is what I use these days. Any feature comprehensive backup program is a PITA to set up. But there is no reason not to use rpm packaging for either amanda or bacula.
