Kopete build

It's quite simple to build an RPM, but my main concern is that your KDE 
version is too old, and thus buggy. The latest version is 3.1 (but 3.0.5 
would do just fine). Does YellowDog have 3.0.5? If not, is it a possibility 
to get the YellowDog developers to up the version and release an update (I'm 
not sure how YellowDog works exactly, but I'm thinking on the lines of YaST, 
Mandrake updater-thingy, and up2date). That's why I'm CCing this to the list 
(so they can respond - please CC me on all mails on the list).

Some of the first versions of KDE 3.0.x have some critical bugs, but it's a 
possibility to try to see how it works. What is the KDE prefix on YellowDog? 
(run 'kde-config --prefix'). What is the Qt prefix? (echo $QTDIR, or use rpm 
to find it). With that information I can construct a YellowDog taylored RPM.

YellowDog devels, any comments on the above? Suggestions? Etc?
