There are advantages to packaging systems though. E.g. you never end up with
an outdated module causing trouble in a newer version.

You can probably make your own RPM's for CentOS 6 based on either the
Digium RPM's for CentOS 5 or the Fedora RPM's for Fedora 15. Just
download the source RPM and rebuild it; if you don't get any errors you
are generally golden. For extra points, install mock and let that do the
rebuild.
