There really isn't any reason those should be lagging that much. This is however why I suggested just recompiling the rpms present on kernel.org, which would get you the latest and greatest and not, completely, push you into maintaining the packages on your own. > Also, is there how-tos you'd suggest I use in setting up the git/gitweb > combo with the yum install?

They install into different locations though the instructions should be relatively straight forward. http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/warthog9/gitweb.git;a=blob;f=gitweb/README;h=ad6a04c464075c31afe3c67222f0bdeabc76f569;hb=HEAD is the official documentation, but a quick glance at it shows that it doesn't stay consistent on where the the document root is. If you have problems give me a holler and I'll throw up how I have it configured at kernel.org on the kernel.org wiki as a reference point for people to a specific installation. - John 'Warthog9' Hawley
