FYI, the latest Evo RPMs on Fedora 6 (stable) are for 2.8.3. If you go
for the development version (essentially a beta of Fedora 7) you have to
update a large number of Gnome packages, which in turn triggers updates
to stuff that has nothing to do with Evo.

Personally, I just recompile from the tarballs (it's not hard if you
follow the README) and run Evo 2.10 quite happily on my Fedora 6 KDE
desktop. I don't use Garnome or jbuild precisely because they
enthusiastically recompile over 30 other packages which I don't care
about.

However I do appreciate the point you raise about supporting a large set
of users; I certainly wouldn't want to do this in that case.
