Note, there is a guy out there that has been working on creating updated
rpms.
You can get them from:

                As RH Labs are pretty slow for updating RPMS, I'd like to
make RPMS my
                self. I can rebuild SRPMS into RPMS w/o trouble, but I'd
like someone to
                tell me how simply make a SRPMS with a tar.gz ?
