Use my packages from the kde-redhat unstable repository, I use these for that
exact purpose myself. (This is why I'm making them in the first place.)
As for why they're at kde-redhat and not in the official repository: We
consider them too unstable to push into stable repositories yet, this is also
why they're in the unstable section at kde-redhat and not in stable or testing.
3.80.3 is a developer snapshot. The next version will be an alpha, and require
a beta Qt (4.3 beta). So I don't plan to submit a KDE 4 for review to the
official package collection before Qt 4.3 lands there. And when that will
happen (during Fedora 8 development, I assume), we'll have to discuss whether
we want my current packaging at all for Fedora 8 or whether we want to make KDE
4 the default and KDE 3 as the compat libraries. I think KDE 4.0 is supposed to
be out before Fedora 8.
