Carlos, 

You might want to put together a build environment and roll your own.  I tend 
to do this for a lot of software (as I need to application specific business 
required patches to several packages).  In most cases, you can easily setup a 
chroot environment of some type, download the source RPM (instead binary), and 
then compile it.  In many cases, when I need to go from 2.6.x up to the next 
version, I just download the new source file, edit my spec file for postfix, 
change the version number, run a single command to build it, wait about 4 
minutes, then I have a package.  (it's easier than it sounds once you've done 
it a few times).
