Is there a way of keeping Amanda up to date thru RHN.

It's up to RH to follow the development of Amanda.
They don't seem to follow it "on the bleeding" edge.

Some reasons I can think of:
- they don't have many users of amanda
- there is no Amanda specialist at RH
- Amanda has too many parameters built in while compiling,
  making a general rpm distributed version not very elegant.
  Even on this list, most people say: compile it yourself, don't
  use the rpms.
- There is no rpm made by the Amanda developers, ready for RH to
  base itself on.
