Get the original source code, and build the RPMs yourself.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn how to build your own 
RPMs.

Yes, you won't get instant gratification.  You will have to spend some 
amount of time learning stuff, before you end up with a suitable RPM of this 
software.

However, this will be a very rewarding investment, that will pay off many 
times, in the future.
