<html><head></head><body>An easy option is to grab the src.rpms from fedora and do the rpmbuild process. It will take adding several devel packages.<br>
<br>
The full method is to use mock locally or maybe get lucky and find built packages on <a href="http://koji.fedoraproject.org">koji.fedoraproject.org</a>.<br>

Ok. Went digging on koji. No kmail. No kontact. <br>
<br>
WTF?!?!?<br>
<br>
Ah ha!! The package is called kdepim or kdepim3 (kde version 3). There's an epel build for centos 7. Just use yum install kdepim with a working epel repo.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On February 13, 2016 8:28:35 PM EST, "Damon L.

<pre class="k9mail">I have been googling "kmail Centos 7" and finding no joy. It looks like <br />you can't get the full Kontact suite on CentOS 7. This is not <br />definitive, but Google says no joy. This information also does not help <br />you with your specific issue of EPEL either.<br /><br />Perhaps what Jim L and Jim K said is correct, perhaps you should try <br />Debian/ubuntu or Fedora. A quick google does report that kmail and/or <br />Kontact can be had for all three.<br /><br />I personally have not had a very good desktop experience with Centos 7, <br />the CentOS devs have not caught up with suppling the things I am <br />interested in using and I don't really want to compile. Amazingly, you <br />can install the latest desktop drivers from AMD cards right from the AMD <br />websites, but there is no steam, just as an example.<br /><br />I do find both Fedora > 20 and Ubuntu to give a complete desktop, though <br />if you want to run ATI/AMD cards, cut
to the
chase and use Ubuntu, if <br />you want to run standard open source vid drivers, it's a toss up.<br /><br />Not your solution, but perhaps a re-think of your distro may be in <br />order, depending on your needs, of course.<br /><br />In the past, I have found Kontact to be the single best PIM, sadly, <br />since KDE 4, I am not at all interested in KDE. Evolution was OK, still <br />like it, but my favorite is thunderbird, since I am not going to run <br />Kontact on a XFCE destkop, though I could. It just becomes to glaring <br />to me with integration to mix gtk and qt.<br /><br />HTH!<br /><br /><br /><br />On 02/11/2016 10:15 PM, Sean Kilpatrick wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> I am trying to run away from Evolution, which is driving me nutz, and<br /> move back to kde apps, specifically Kontact.<br /> I have all the usual repos, including epel. rpm forge, and rpm fusion<
