The RPM contains everything from the povuni_s.tgz file, including docs and
sample scenes; rebuilding it to explicitly add "unofficial" to the .spec
should take a whole ten minutes. . . done.

I thought so too; the only RPMs I could find on rpmfind for 3.5 were for
SuSE, though, which may or may not work with any other distribution.

The RPMs are available at:
 <http://machinae.lionsanctuary.net/2003/12/povray-3.50c-1.src.rpm>
 <http://machinae.lionsanctuary.net/2003/12/povray-3.50c-1.i386.rpm>
