That's not really fair to RH in my opinion. If the package doesn't
exist, or isn't the version you would like you have two decent
options:
1) Remove the package and install from source, realizing of course
that this removes all package management from the application.
2) Take the existing SRPM SPEC file and convert it to use the
version, compile time options, etc. you want and build a real
RPM of it.
