I have installed the kate editor on Centos 6.7 but it seems to be a

What is the recommended way of updating kate on Centos 6?
Thank you.
First you find out from wich package (rpm) your kate is.
either you try to as yum: "yum search kate",
or you do the full monty:
locate the binary "type kate", usually /usr/bin/kate,
then you ask rpm from which package this file comes:
"rpm -qf /usr/bin/kate"
take the main package name (the part before the version numbers)
and feed it to yum:
yum update [kate-package-name]
YMMV, depening on what repos you have enabled or not.
You can search most of what is available via pkgs.org,
for kate, for example
http://pkgs.org/search/kate
then select "Centos 6" (maybe you have to scroll down for that)
The EPEL repo seems to have version 0.3.8 of libkate at least.
Have a nice week.

yum install kdesdk-4.3.4-9.el6.x86_64
That is the version I installed previously and which contains a very old
version of kate.
