[CentOS] GIMP 2.4 on CentOS 5?

Hi,

I'm using CentOS 5 on all our desktops here (work & home), and I'm quite happy with it. There's one detail I'd like to change. GIMP comes in version 2.2. There have been some changes in version 2.4, and it's also been around for quite some time. There are quite some functions in 2.4 that I'd like to use. As far as I understand, building GIMP 2.4 would involve some changes to [base] packages, like upgrading GTK.

Anyone built GIMP 2.4 successfully without wrecking the system? I guess I'd take an SRPM from FC8 from rpm.pbone.net, and then start from here. Only I prefer to ask first.

Cheers from the cloudy South of France,

Niki
