Looking forward to it.

A bit OT...
The original channel files seem to have some missing fields and would
not work on any distro - not sure if this may be a post-script problem.
Dag's Binary packages for el4 work, but an attempt to rebuild from SRPM
fails as follows, despite the fact the qt packages are all installed:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (headers and
libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
