Usually, Centos 5 rpms are available in SourceForge. I saw somewhere a note 
that for now the newest 2.4.0 rpms are in hold, waiting until the 
responsible person (Scott?) returns from vacation. I got an idea they could 
be expected around the June 16th.

AFAIK, the actual job "requiring brains" is fine-tuning the rpm spec file 
for the new release, and putting everything into source rpm.
Basically, writing the spec file is like developing an algorithm and writing 
the code to implement it, so there are no simple instructions how to do it.
After that, building the binary packages is relatively straightforward work 
mostly requiring digital muscles (a.k.a cpu time) -as long as the packages 
build as expected (without build-time errors, which would lead back to 
fine-tuning the spec file or even worse, the source code)
