[opensuse-factory] KDE4.2 Final - in anticipation of,
In anticipation of the release of KDE4.2 Final later today I would like to firstly state what my current situation is re having KDE4.2 RC1 on my system, and also ask a couple of questions. I am running oS 11.1 with KDE4.2RC1 - at least this is what the logon screen suggests when queried; but I am wondering if I *am* running all the correct files necessary for 4.2RC1. I am using the following repositories which I *believe* are the correct ones to have used to have 4.2RC1 on the system for testing (but the naming convention used in the repos is a tad confusing): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Extra-Apps/ope... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1... I also have these which are used for the original 4.1 installation: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_11.1 My questions are, (1) have I used the correct repositories above (the first 3 in particular) to have 4.2RC1 for testing on my system, and (2) will using these repositories also update my system to KDE4.2 Final when it is released later today?

Yes and yes. Just remember a couple of things: 1) kde4:/factory flavour is openSUSE development - so even though the code is officially released and "stable" from a KDE point of view, the packages remain pre-alpha and under active development from the openSUSE point of view. 2) if you don't pay attention (planetsuse.org or -kde mailinglist) kde4:/factory repositories might change to 4.3 beta right under your feet in 2-4 months time - depending on how the 11.2 roadmap turns out, when it's finally published. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thank you, Martin. I read the kde mailing list so will keep an eye out for any changes in the future to the Factory repo.
