My guess is that qscintilla isn't really a high priority for fedora right now (how can i see who the package maintainers are for a certain package??) so you might want to try to grab the .src.rpm of the last rpm [1] made by fedora and upgrade it yourself. to do this: rpm -ivh packagename.src.rpm go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ run rpmbuild -ba the_specfile.spec (this is just to see that it builds. if it's not building it will likely give you a list of packages that you need in order to build it.) When the building works than you can start adjusting the package to your demands. open up the specfile (for example in nano, vi, gedit, kate etc) and look for the source url (probably [2]). than you have to follow it, download the latest version, put it the ../SOURCES dir (assuming your still in the SPECS dir) and than adjust your specfile. Now if your lucky than the build works and you have a new RPM which you can install.. (don't count on it) Good luck making it.
