Rawhide will get you newer RPMs as far as RedHat is concerned. I normally
like Rawhide RPMs, too. However some RPMs come out "later" direct from
their sources (like say, the Courier IMAP server), or from other
packagers.

PHP in a way is an example of something that you can cool RPMs of from
some other packager. Arvin Troels in his website in
<http://fsr.ku.dk/people/troels/rpms/php/> has RPMs pre-built as well as
SRPMs available. His pre-built RPMs are cool in that I got my i686
optimized CFLAGS from him, so I normally don't recompile his RPMs anymore.
Check it out. I'm using PHP4 in my development box, and am using the
latest release of Horde (1.2.0) and IMP (2.2.0). Note that his PostgreSQL
RPMs are only for the 6.x release. He has a link viewable by checking out
the Description link for 7.x PostgreSQL RPMs and they work fine. :-)
