EPEL i3 wm in is two years out-of-date

[Kyle Strand]

I'm not sure what the proper avenue for requesting updates to EPEL packages
is, so if such requests aren't welcome on this mailing list, please
redirect me.

I'm trying to switch over to the tiling window manager i3, but the version
in the EPEL repo is at version 4.0.1, which was compiled in 2011. Would
anyone be willing to package a newer version and get it into the repo? I
tried installing the latest version in the Fedora 19 repo, but tried to
install ~1800 packages as dependencies and failed due to conflicts (which
probably has something to do with the fact that I'm on a CentOS 6.4 system).

There are some pretty aggravating bugs in the current repo version that
have been fixed in later versions, including one especially annoying Chrome
bug that was fixed as early as v. 4.0.2 (https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686
).

Thank you!
