That was the reason I tried to update, as I need a new version of ppl, and the latest version of ppl-yap requires the development version of yap. Petr pointed out a few problems with my attempt to update. If anybody out there is interested in keeping yap in Fedora, I'm happy to explain what I did, and the remaining problems to be addressed. Otherwise, I'll update ppl once yap has been retired.
