Recently I installed KDE4.5 onto my 11.2, by following opensSUSE guidance and I've been very well impressed of this new DE release.
Now if I try a zypper ref; zypper up, then I notice several KDE packages available but since they come from different vendor (OBS instead of openSUSE) they went no installed.
In these cases I know, I should limit the repos to "dup" with --repo, or --from switch, but wonder if doing so then I risk to broke something.
The conservative answer: You always risk breaking something by using OBS repos, especially when the repo in question contains 'Factory' in its title - that means it's a building site for the next openSUSE release. The optimistic answer: The KDE:Distro:Factory packages are pretty well tested and most people seem to experience a net decrease in bugs vs KDE 4.4.4 from openSUSE 11.3. And if you already partly installed 4.5 then you will not make things worse by allowing the vendor changes on update. The compromise: We are preparing a KDE:SC:45 repo which has infrequently updated 'good' packages without the sharp edges that may be in KDE:Distro:45. It will be announced here when ready.
