So I wonder what do other CentOS users do in a similar situation? Is it possible to get a Fedora binary package and install it? What about getting a Fedora source package, building and installing it? Is there any other possibility?
For a few programs that don't seem to be (readily) available for Centos I just take some steps to create/compile my own rpm. Sometimes all it takes is a simple "rpmbuild --rebuild" command on a Fedora rpm, sometimes it takes a bit more than that.
You can find "my" Centos rpms here:
