For people who want a stable desktop but with some packages upgraded to newer versions, what is the recommended method? Find an FC4 SRPM and rebuild it? Get the source and build that?
You want to try FC3 src.rpm's first - they are more likely to get you a better-fit.
But sometimes its just not that simple, eg. Evolution. To get the latest / greatest - you are looking to, pretty much, rebuild the entire gnome platform and move to 2.10
( you could do the garnome way if you like... not much fun, if its a simple drop in install you want )
