I've recently noticed that there are a few applications that are now running their own repositories (Google Earth and Adobe Flash) or are distributed through 3rd party repositories (vlc on RPMfusion) and thought I should mention it as a possible way of shortening the time between a new version becoming available and it appearing as part of the various Linux distros. Personally, I'm not bothered either way: 3.3.2 does what I need and so I'm quite happy to wait for 3.4.0 to appear in the Fedora repositories. Apologies if I ruffled any feathers - that wasn't my intention. Martin
