There are in fact old RPM's there right now. Old, incidentally, is
2.2.x, what would it be, 8 or 9, which is very current. I'm not sure I'd
even want to run 2.4.0 on a production system right out the gate like that.
In any case, the CentOS RPM's (there's only RHEL, but there's really no
difference) are present in the SourceForge section by -fschwarz.
