If it makes you feel better, build your own RPMs (or
$package-style-of-choice).  This is actually a pretty good idea if you
are on a package-manager-based platform, as it makes it far simpler to
keep track of exactly what you've got installed.  It's generally not
hard to take the source package supplied by your distro and stick a
new minor-release source tarball into it.
