And if I might add (if the maintainers of those packages are on any of the lists at all): Why are there no srpms so that one of the club contributers could have updated them? Who had this fabulous idea of not putting up srpms? Most of the inhouse made commercial rpms are full of bugs, incompatible and outdated. It is a waste of employee-time to maintain these things. Put the srpms up and let us rebuild it when needed. (no i do not put up my own versions because last time i did that with java people were complaining to me about the other rpm, it is confusing and another waste of recources to double the work) d.
