You can install the new version from DVD next to the one provided by openSUSE. It is not very difficult and as far as I remember only the GUI of tlmgr needs some extra package installed, the rest is working out of the box. You only need to tell kile etc. to use this new version. How to do this can be found by googling it. This is possible.
Hi, Cor. Yes, I could build a dummy package, texlive-dummy, to tell kile etc. that texlive-dummy provide texlive-latex & other texlive packages. But some package, for example, dalatex requires tex(calc.sty) & some other files from texlive, it's a long list, I don't it's a good method to do this.
Hi Hottea, I think that when you install from DVD in /usr/local and enable the option to make links to binaries in /usr/local/bin, then this will be used before the texlive from openSUSE, because in the $PATH /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin So just installing should be enough and let the openSUSE version just on the system; it shall be ignored. Can someone confirm this? Cor
The other way is to branch the texlive program you use in your home project and remove all the texlive requires and rebuild it. Then you can remove texlive and install from DVD and immediately use this.
Is that okay? I think I should use software packages from the repo first, not my home project repo, and it may be endless...
