 That being the case, I'd be shooting myself in the foot by doing a release 
 ahead of the official KDE 3.3 rpms and not testing against those. Usually, I 
 only build against the latest KDE on SuSE, but test earlier versions against 
 Mdk and RH. 

Well, if I wasn't convinced this was in good hands before I certianly
am now.  I'll wait patiently for SuSE rpms that will be ready, well,
when they're ready.

Thanks for the work, Jim.

 Isn't this desired behavior? By default, most packages install into 
 /usr/local. If you want it to go into /usr or somewhere else, you'll have to 
 specify it in args to build.py (or the configure program in other packages).

For install yes, but for build no.  You should be able to compile
completely as a user, and potentially even run tests as a user,
without being root.  Invoking large complex make processes as root
is, well, not something a cautious sysadmin would do.

 A better approach is to always, always, always remove sip and PyQt before 
 installing something new. After all, you are really asking for trouble if you 
 have libsip.so.9 and libsip.so.10 in the same directory.

Before installing, yes.  But consider the joy of removing them and then
discovering that the new version doesn't build, or has bugs in your
environment.  Yet another reason why one should be able to build and
test before doing the actual install.
