Thanks Jan for your response.
Really the tone is unnecessary here, i was just looking for guidance
on what the repository is - i can't find any reference to it on the
page: http://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories or the links to
other repos it provides.
I took the dive and disabled Network12.2 then switched repos to
Tumbleweed and upgraded. I had no problems, and yes cyrus-sasl
downgraded.
It occurred to me that this repo was enabled when trying to install
the necessary dependencies for Crossover.
Im not experienced with the inner workings of operating systems, i
just use openSUSE because its a great platform for my work - i'm an
engineer working in energy efficiency - and i like Linux.
Regards,
Trent

This is going to sound like a noob question but...
I am in the process of switching over to Tumbleweed from openSUSE12.2 base.
Somewhere along the line i gathered a bunch of repos which i don't know if i actually need anymore. This includes: Network12.2 - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/openSUSE_12.2/
The basic rule is: if you do not know why you need it, you in fact do not need it. This applies to *ANY* extra repository.
The only package i have installed from it (what i can tell using YAST) is one called "cyrus-sasl-devel" - v2.1.25-55.1. Looks to be a newer version than the one in Current Oss.
And: do you care? Do you absolutely need a newer version of cyrus-sasl? If and only if you did, you would already know that you needed the repo.
