I don't know if John does extra steps, but you can roll your own for most
packages pretty easily.

Download the SRPM.
rpm -ivh the SRPM
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb theprogram.spec
When it's done compiling, you should see a binary RPM in one of the
subdirectories of /usr/src/redhat/RPMS

Same. I don't mind rebuilding my own either, but I want to avoid having a
second unnecessary update on systems when the official one comes out.

Definitely. Maybe in combo with a web interface.
