[Download RAW message or body]

Thanks, but this is still incomplete for me. For example, I downloaded and 
tried to rpm -U the arts file. But that complained about dependencies. There 
was a choice of 5 different qt files, the "normal" one complained about 
dependencies. So I tried the static one. It wanted the devel one. What a 
mess! This is not way to put Windows out of existence!

Perhaps someone could write an upgrade script that would actually upgrade 
redhat 7.1 to kde 7.2 all by itself?

Meanwhile, perhaps someone could just tell me EXACTLY what to do.
