  Dear SL developers,

how can I request an update of one of the libraries available in the 
Scientific Linux distribution and thus in the repositories?

I work under Scientific Linux 5.5 but am not administrator of the 
system. His policy is that the system must match exactly the official 
distribution. I encounter an annoying bug in gtk+. The current version 
available under SL5.5 is 2.10.4, while I know for example that the bug 
has been fixed in 2.10.8 at least. Is it possible to update the micro 
number (i.e. bug fixes only) of the gtk+ libraries to 2.10.8 or even 
better to latest stable 2.10.14? Or should I first make the same request 
to RedHat 5.5, and you will then include it automatically?

Thanks for your help,

Sebastien Bardeau
