This does not solve the issue. First, I don't have the resources to create and host a public repository for this purpose. Second, I don't have the expertise to do so. This is what I rely on the CentOS repository to do for me. > Considering the amount of time invested in this discussion, someone could > have just built the RPMs already and stuck them somewhere for download. A one-off build does not address the issue of continuing updates going forward. Is it so surprising that I do not want to be a package maintainer? This is why I chose a managed distro like RHEL/CentOS in the first place.
