My suggestion: download the source and compile. That is what Slackware 
folks do. That way you are not tied to someone else's update 
schedule.  It puts you more in control.  The drill is not 
complicated:
download
unzip 
tar xvf
cd directory
./configure
make
make install
done. 

It's a slow process but often not as slow as waiting for someone else 
to do the packaging bit.
