kde-3.5.5 could probably be made to work, but it may be a bit of work. 
Based on the fact that these older releases consume more time/energy to
make work, and that these releases had the smallest userbase, kde-redhat
dropped official support for older distro/releases awhile back (el3 was one
of them).

Not qt-3.3.7, but I think I can at least provide a patched qt-3.3.6-13.2
(for rh9, el3 anyway, my rh7 mock buildroots are borked).

Thanks for the answer. If it's too much work, I personally can live without kde 3.5.5 on el3. And 
our users, which want kde 3.5.5, have to update to el4 anyhow.

Rex,

Just to clarify... does this mean no kde-redhat 3.5.5 for FC4 ?

That is correct, unless I find myself with copious amounts of freetime 
to do the build(s) for FC-4 too (which is unlikely).

A glimmer of hope exists since part of what is sucking all my time the 
last few days was trying to get plague-server/plague-builder working, so 
if we had contributors/maintainers for legacy(FC-4) bits, they could 
kick off builds themselves.  I'd be happy to push the results to the repos.
