Bill -

have you tried perhaps giving a hand at building your own RPMs?  If 
you've never done this before, it can be quite a daunting task - but 
definately something to look forward to if these upgrades are what you 
really want.  After that, perhaps you can make the packages available to 
those who are in the same position as you.

If all else fails, I suppose you'd still ahve the experneice and 
knowledge on how to do something like this in the future.  I'm sorry 
that I cannot be of more help.

Thanks
