I can't say whether this is the "best" way, but here's what I did:
1. Starting with a reasonably fresh install of 7.2...
2. From the URL in the announcement message, download all the RPMS. Put them
in a directory.
3. Create a subdirectory called "libical" and move the libical RPMs into it.
4. Create a subdirectory called "printing" amd move the following RPMs into
it:
cups-1.1.4-9mdk.i586.rpm
cups-common-1.1.4-9mdk.i586.rpm
cups-drivers-1.0-2.1mdk.i586.rpm
ghostscript-5.50-48mdk.i586.rpm
ghostscript-module-SVGALIB-5.50-48mdk.i586.rpm
ghostscript-module-X-5.50-48mdk.i586.rpm
ghostscript-utils-5.50-48mdk.i586.rpm
kups-0.8-27.1mdk.i586.rpm
kups-devel-0.8-27.1mdk.i586.rpm
libcups1-1.1.4-9mdk.i586.rpm
libcups1-devel-1.1.4-9mdk.i586.rpm
libqtcups1-1.1-2.1mdk.i586.rpm
libqtcups1-devel-1.1-2.1mdk.i586.rpm
qtcups-1.1-2.1mdk.i586.rpm
5. Starting in the "libical" directory...
rpm -ivh libical-0.20d-2mdk.i586.rpm
6. In the parent directory (containing the remaining RPMs) enter:
rpm --rebuild
rpm -Uvh *.rpm --test
The --test will tell you whether proceeding with the install is likely to
encounter any problems. Assuming it doesn't...
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
rpm --rebuilddb
update-menus -v
7. In the "printing" directory...
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
rpm --rebuilddb
update-menus -v
I split out the printing stuff so as not to lump everything into one massive
update. (I also rebuild the RPM database frequently because I've had problems
updating too many RPMs at once.) There seem to be two versions of libical in
the most recent update. I only installed the second one noted above. (It
needed to be installed before the remaining RPMS in the parent directory.)
This may not be the best approach -- but it worked for me.
Cheers.
