Gary: The KompoZer web site says the .8 alpha4 version is much more stable on Linux than the current version,
Actually they say the 0.8 branch (not specifically alpha4 version) is more stable than the 0.7 branch.
but I don't see an SRPM available.
Indeed there is none for 0.8a4, but there is one for 0.8a3: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/files/kompozer/kompozer-0.8a3-fc10-...
See all files here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/files/
OTOH, I believe building this from source might become very tricky, since it is based on Mozilla code I can only guess the nightmare of dependencies to get it done... Although less than ideal, you might have more luck just downloading and unpacking the binary pre-compiled packages which should have all the libraries prepared to work in an alternate path under a directory such as /opt or /usr/local.
But if you manage to build the SRPM for 0.8a3, building one for 0.8a4 should be only the matter of downloading the latest source tarball and changing the version number inside the specfile, I wouldn't expect more than that since the differences should be small.
They show an RPM someone contributed for FC10, but not a SRPM. This is the first update for KompoZer in about 20 months.
0.8a3 seems to be only a couple of weeks older than 0.8a4.
