I’m sure you have noticed some different packages like redland and raptor, this time, instead of installing soprano-devel or strigi-devel, I installed their deps. Just another way to do it.
P.S. Just for the fun of it, this time I didn’t use kdesvn-build and built everything into /usr. I will write another post on how to compile KDE manually without any kind of script. Then you can write your own script to make it even easier to update it! 
And, you have more control over what actually happens!
Trying out F10 almost-preview (rawhide one day before preview release)
I just finished installing F10 Beta and updated it so it’s now almost-preview release (rawhide). Just one word would describe it: Fantastic. Much much better than F9. I can’t believe the speed this thing is advancing. Truely amazing. The wallpaper is the first thing I noticed which is really nice. And I haven’t noticed any other things as it has been only 5 minutes. But this week I will try to compile kde svn on it, see how that goes. I will most probably use some deps from opensuse (see previous posts). Anyhow, I have to get going (to bed). See you all later when I come with a list of deps for F10!!!
