Q: What is the recommended method to obtain Pan 0.136+ (with SSL) for Centos 6?

I've been successfully using Pan 0.135 from the RPMForge repository 
for about a year now:

$ yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo c6-media,\*-source,\*debug\* provides "*/pan"
==> 1:pan-0.135-1.el6.rf.x86_64 : The Pan Newsreader
==> Repo        : installed
$ sudo yum --enablerepo rpmforge install pan -y
==> Package 1:pan-0.135-1.el6.rf.x86_64 already installed and latest version

For a good reason (native SSL support), I'm interested in testing out Pan 
version 0.136 (or above). So, the question arises, how 'best' to find and 
install Pan 0.136 (or above)?

A search at http://rpm.pbone.net failed to find any RPM for 0.136 or above:

But I do find the later Pan RPMs in later Fedora releases:
http://pkgs.org/download/pan (e.g., Fedora 17 & 18 have later RPMs):

Or, I can compile Pan version 0.139 from source code:

Given these seem to be my choices (and, given that only about half my compiles 
ever work); may I ask first the basic question:
