I'm beginning to believe it would be :-). I've started on the task, but not just the Qt is outdated, even the shared mime-info is outdated. There's a discussion on the centos list about the topic as well: http://www.linux-archive.org/centos/661858-maintainer-krita-centos.html.

I'll play some more with my centos install this weekend. There's a fair chance the tarball will be rather humungous :-).

No, no problem!

I really hope there is -- I might be pinging you privately later on, after I've got something that runs for a few pointers and contacts...
