So what effect should we expect in the openSUSE 11.1 repos?
The online update will be only for 11.2. If you want KDE 4.3.4 on 11.1, you'll have to explicitly use KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop.
What is the difference between this one ( KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop) and the one in KDE:43/ ?
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.1/i 586/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Des ktop/openSUSE_11.1/i586/
At the same may I ask (here), if it is possible to get version numbers in the output of 'zypper dyp'? It looks like, that I need to perform a 'zypper dup' to upgrade from kde-4.2.3 to 4.3 on my openSUSE-11.1.
Yes, because zypper up does not consider packages, where the vendor changes (given that each auxiliary repo is its own vendor).
I've attached the zypper dup output I get. It tells me that kde will be downgraded, but to which version? How do I upgrade to kde-4.3.x?
Hi Richard
For me it looks like your openSUSE-Update Repo has i higher,or the same, Priority than the KDE4 Repo. In this case zypper dup wil downgrade your KDE4 to the Version which is partly in the Update Repo, and this is the Version which was shippt with 11.1, i guess 4.0.x or 4.1.x
If you want the latest kde4, you have to set the KDE4 Repo to a higher Priority than the Update Repo, but then you have to be aware that this packages will not be Updated by security Reasons.
It's fine with zypper to put all repos on the same priority level (e.g. 99). Then zypper dup resolves the packages solely by version, which usually are higher for updates, hence zypper dup does the right thing, which is not always the case, if you're using repos with overlapping names. Always be careful, if zypper dup want to remove packages in flavor of officially updated packages. Security updates for distro KDE is pointless, if you're using another KDE repo, and I guess, that any security fixes of actively maintained project will appear quicker in the auxiliary repos, then in update because the official update process is much slower (organizational wise) then the simple build service check in for the afflicted package. That's more risky because the propability, that something is broken, tends to be higher here. OTOH, maintainers hopefully take "STABLE:" and "UNSTABLE:" labels seriously.
If you don't care about the Risk set the Priority to a value lower then the Update Repo (a lower value means a higher Priority). For example, if the Update Repo has a Priority from 99, set the KDE Repo to, let's say, 30 or what ever is lower than 99. Then you will get the Packages from that Repo.
But if you want SuSE to take care by your Security install openSUSE 11.2 with KDE-4.3.x
