Hi!
I'm using Suse 6.2 on my server too. Up to now, I've no problems on using the 6.3 or 6.4 binary-rpms.
6.3 should work, _basically_. Since the packages are not built for 6.2, the probability that they fail is bigger than anywhere else. But if it works, it's fine. Then, the mentioned exceptions: We have promised in earlier announcements that we will fix some of the pending bugs for 6.2, even after the time for discontinuation has come. That's what we did: We just didn't fix bugs that become known after the freeze (well, some were really easy to fix, so we kept them). Since download stats from ftp.suse.com indicated that people retrieve (update) packages from 6.2 and older and newer bugs occurred in some packages and were fixed for the newer distributions only, I have moved the packages to a new directory that has a quite "indicative" name. In addition to that, it's easier for mirror admins to keep up-to-date with the structure on ftp.suse.com. Thanks, Roman. -- - - | Roman Drahtmüller <draht@suse.de> // "Caution: Cape does | SuSE GmbH - Security Phone: // not enable user to fly." | Nürnberg, Germany +49-911-740530 // (Batman Costume warning label) | - -
