rsync - Aug 2005 - --files-from... Option gone?

Hi i had an app using --files-from, now it appears that option has been 
deprecated, or is not available in the latest version (rh es3 package)

=
Does anyone know the latest  "equivalent" of how to get rsync to feed 
off a text file so i can get this working again?

[root@r59s1 cgi-bin]# rsync --version
rsync  version 2.5.7  protocol version 26

2.5.7 is pretty ancient...
2.6.6 is current, and has the --files-from option.
I suggest you upgrade your rsync, and/or go bother rh about providing up
to date stuff.
