We were trying to stay with the repositories but, considering the issues
we are having with 0.8 as we examine if it is production ready, we
probably should go with 0.9.  Is there a repository for it? If not, is
it safe to use the 0.8 source rpms and rebuild with new source? If not,
we'll simply compile from source and try to keep it all straight.
