Besides being several versions old, it doesn't come with a lot of the useful plug-ins (modules) compiled.

1.3.1rc3 is old?

Anyway, sorry, this is really off-topic.

Last I looked (2 weeks ago), only 1.3.0 was available.

Another issue (perhaps more on topic) is that the single monolithic build either doesn't provide useful modules, or it pulls in a lot of modules (with their requisite dependencies) that ends up loading your system up with a bunch of kruft that you might not want or need.

A better structuring of the RPM would build optional sub-packages that contain the optional stuff so that it could be individually loaded as needed.

That's what I've been trying to do. Plus it would be nice to get a fairly generic .spec file into the source tree, so that people can actively build off of trunk...
