RPMS's rebuilt or upstream one's used

Hi

I got a cleanly reinstalled 4.2 workstation. However i
still needed to build the following SRPMS from
Mandriva/Fedora :-

- Chkrootkit
- Logcheck
- Tripwire
- Xboard & Gnuchess
- Rkhunter

I needed to use the upstream versions of :-
- OpenOffice.org 2.0.1
- RealPlayer Gold
- Acrobat Reader

I needed to tweak Bind chroot to log queries  and
adopt a BSD style UID>1000. All redhat-based systems
come with the inevitable tonne of services on by
default.

Is this the same situation with everyone else? I know
Karanbir produces some home made rpm' but obviously
not all of the above. Dag's repo is also cool but not
as extensive as Fedora Extras.

Are there any plans to provide goodies like
- pup
- yumex/yum utils
now  that Fedora has dropped Up2date?
