qt-4.8/kde-4.10 (hopefully) for rhel6 coming soon

Back in office, trying to set-up the kde repos. Brings me to my next 
wish :) An rpm for setting up the kde repos similar to what EPEL 
provides would be great. It is quite rare to have root priviliges on 
these machines, but having sudo rights to yum is easier to achieve. 
Also, I believe it is a cleaner approach to use an rpm rather than 
manually fiddling with config files (less error prone, more 
maintainable).

Feeding yum a custom yum.conf I was able to test, but is seems somehow 
the URL is not resolved correctly. This is what I got:

$ sudo yum -c /tmp/yum.conf check-update
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, 
subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.

epel-release.noarch

My Red Hat release:
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.3 (Santiago)

If I go to the first mirror, the 6Workstation entry is indeed 
non-existent:
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/kde-redhat/redhat/

Now I replaced the mirrorlist lines in yum.conf, so that the three 
respective lines read:
baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/kde-redhat/redhat/6.3/x86_64/stable/
baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/kde-redhat/redhat/6.3/x86_64/testing/
baseurl=http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/kde-redhat/redhat/6.3/x86_64/unstable/

Then check-update went through but a yum search for kdevelop only gave 
kscope, and Digikam is still at version 1.2. Take into account that yum 
is new to me, there may be some trivial command I am unaware of.

Cheers,
