First, a couple of things to remember

OpenSuse is comparable to Fedora
SuseLinux Enterprise Server is comparable to Scientific Linux.

Why does that matter?
OpenSuse and Fedora are both "bleeding edge" distributions.  They always work 
with the latest and greatest, and they also have a short support lifetime.

SLES, RHEL, and SL are all "Enterprise" distributions.  They use the most 
stable releases of products and they support them for a long long time.

So if you want the latest and greatest, use Fedora or OpenSuse.  If you run 
Scientific Linux, you are going to get a stable, but sometimes older, version 
of a product.

With that in mind, to answer your question.  The latest version of tetex in 
Scientific Linux 5 is 3.0-33.2.el5.2.  We currently do not expect that to 
change anytime soon, and if it does, we expect it to only be the end numbers 
(such as 3.0-33.2.el5.3)

Does that mean you can't get the newer version someplace?  No, I'm just giving 
the "offical" statement on what version we have.  I've checked, and I don't see 
a newer version anywhere in our yum repositories, but that doesn't mean it 
isn't someplace.
