This may be silly, but here goes. I have downloaded the new version os ssh due
to the security
announcement a little bit ago. Looking at its depends I see that it requires

in redhat there are source packages and binary packages. one may
download the source package and use `rpm --rebuild ' to
build binary packages from that. quite easy, and useful in my case.

Usually I do that with dselect.
