For the last couple of days I've been able to reach

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/

OK; but none of the KDE version directories below that is accessible (well, they are accessible, but show no content).

Thanks for replying, Robin. Have you seen this thread?

http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/496726-New-KDE-official-repos!

Addendum: I removed the no longer available repositories and added the two new ones, as indicated at the top of that thread -- replacing '13.1' with '12.3', of course. The recommended zypper dup --from pulled up a long list of conflicts resolvable only by downgrading lots of packages, so I canceled that action and followed the hint that someone posted there saying, in effect, installing just the regularly detected updates picks up the later version packages without touching anything else -- nothing is downgraded. In fact, shortly after updating the repositories, Apper reported a modest batch of updates was available. After I clicked 'Apply', there were no apparent conflicts and the updates installed without a problem. YMMV, of course, and hth!

Hi All,

Today I started seeing this error:

...

File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_411_open SUSE_12.3/' I'm now unclear about what's going on after reading this page: https://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories

The KDE repositories that I have configured are as follwos:

KDE 4.11.2 for openSUSE 12.3 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/411/openSUSE_12.3/

KDE4 Extra http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_411_openSUS E_12.3/

Is the problem simply that some mirrors are down or have I run into a 'dead end' and I need to revise my repositories?

Thanks & regards,

Carl

Hi Carl,

You should fix your repos for KDE. There is no KDE:Release repo anymore. There are 1) supported and tested core KDE packages provided with the distribution with same Plasma desktop; 2) the KDE_Current (and latest) version of the KDE Software Compilation; 3) Factory, KDE packages under development for the upcoming openSUSE release.

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#Current_KDE_SC_release

If you were using 4.11 you may wish using the second one KDE_Current to keep all your packages up to date.

Thank you for your input, Ricardo. I've been short on time for the past year so my grasp on the details has suffered. I /am/ running 4.11(.5) so thank you also for sharing your thoughts and the link. I'll set aside some time here soon to get caught up. I very much appreciate your reply!
