I want to upgrade gpsd to a recent version.
However, the version in F13 Rawhide is still too old.
The versions in F14 are recent enough.
How can I upgrade the gpsd to a version>= 2.90 in Fedora 13?

Thanx,
Jan

I downloaded gpsd-2.95-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm and gpsd-devel-2.95-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm and installed them using rpm -U.
It required me to yum erase first some dependent packages, but none of them was used by me...

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck <pkg1name> [<pkg2name>] should work too
