These RPMs are based on the January 13/02 snapshot of 3.2.0b4.  It's not
exactly the latest, but it was reasonably solid at that time, as long as
you don't need to index password-protected sites (Basic authentication
was broken in that snapshot).  It would be a big improvement over 3.2.0b3!
I don't think there were any query parser changes since that snapshot,
so it's probably OK for what you're trying.

I like RPMs too, but I'll sometimes build them myself when I can't get
them ready-made for the version I want.  Install the .src.rpm for the
above package, put the new tarball in the SOURCES directory, update the
htdig.spec file in the SPECS directory, and "rpm -ba htdig.spec".
See "man rpm" and/or the book "Maximum RPM" for details.
