While the Mandriva company is maybe not doing well currently, they offer a vast
amount of the OSGeo stack in their distro, and even updated to current versions.
They also provided patches which we integrated. So, worthwile to consider.
(ah, I am also Mandriva user :)

Their SVN is public.
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/gdal/
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/grass/
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/qgis/
... and so on.

cheers
