[opensuse-kde3] suse 10.3 with KDE 3.5.1
Hello, I'm stuck with suse 10.3 at work. However, I'd like to upgrade my KDE from 3.5.1 to latest that will work. Is there any way to install 3.5.latest in my home directory? I'm not seeing anything on opensuse.org for my older suse release. And having trouble finding the repositories. Is this something that's even possible?

Really? If you can do any online updates at all, then you can update a whole distro via HTTP using zypper....

ftp5.gwdg.de has the oldest available repos I'm aware of. The oldest anything I see there is 11.0. Probably you're out of luck to get straight to latest unless you can find a way to build from source.

...I think you need to manually download and install 11.0's zypper, rpm and related package management rpms using rpm, but once that's done, you can adjust the repos to 11.0 (just edit the version # in the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d/), 'zypper in openSUSE-release', 'zypper dup', reboot, then repeat version by version until you get to a KDE version you can live with. Skipping releases by upgrading in this manner is recommended against, and may well cause irreparable damage. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I thought there was, and was surprised I didn't see that. Maybe I got bit by https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2800. openSUSE is good at keeping MC on broken non-current versions. :-p https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=775919 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
