I don't get that logic. By compiling against the latest snapshot of a testing rpm you want to avoid that people have to rebuild Qt every time they install a new avifile ?? Usually things are backward-compatible only, so you need to compile against the oldest version still supported in order to make it work automatically for everyone. Compiling against the newest packages forces _everybody_ to update _everything_ in order to install your package. And by using a gcc 3.1 compiler you even require people to reinstall all C++ applications, patch glibc by hand with a patch and recompile it as well. Great dependencies!
