Oh perfect, thank  you very much for information. I will wait for the packages 
to be released in the Epel and see how it goes.

Best,
Prabin

Under most circumstances I would expect that to be sufficient, yes.

It should be very rare for this to be necessary, and I'd consider it a failure 
of both upstream measures to retain backward compatibility and of the stated 
intent of the packaging system(s).  But stranger things have happened - usually 
it would be because of substantial changes in the capabilities of the package, 
or the way(s) that they are provided.
