True, I didn't know if there actually was a repository that contained
the package. If that's the case, then you should be able to use Yum.

But I also agree with Paul. If there is a problem that can be fixed in
some way, I would sooner fix it in the stable version, rather than use
a development version that has not been released yet.

Hi David,

As far as I know, the last stable version I've seen in the repos is 2.0.2.
That's why I am willing to try 2.1.4 since I can't find 2.0.3
