[opensuse] What are the correct repos for kde43 on 11.0?
Listmates, Anders clued me into the fact that factory is/will be holding kde4.4 beta packages and not to mix kde4.3 & 4.4 packages (makes sense). However that begs the question, Which repos are the correct repos to make sure you have the latest 4.3?? The problem is that: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.0/ does have the kde4.3 base, but many of the additional packages for the install were pulled from factory/kde4-community, factory/kde4-backports, and factory/kde4-playground. What repo do the 4.3 equivalents for these packages reside in? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories holds a list of related backports/community and playground repos for each core packages repo. It also states whether the packages are maintained by the openSUSE KDE Team or the community.

That Page is a major FAIL if you ask me. It takes a great deal of careful reading to know which ones are the best to use. It should really be reorganized into several pages with a intro page that is some sort of tree structure. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm rather sympathetic to John's objections this time. This afternoon I took Sven's comment and brought up the repositories page again; I installed all the 11.1 repositories except factory and unstable. I started by selecting all the updates for 11.1, and enabling them in yast. Then, yast -> Online Update -> Package -> All Packages -> Update if newer version available got me dozens of unsatisfied requirements. This time I stuck it out through all the error messages, carefully reading each and adjusting the permitted updates. After several rounds of allowing and refusing various updates, yast got me to a place where I only had to refuse konversation-lang and konversation. I let it go, and, after 112 updated packages, am now up to kde 4.3.4, except those two. Although I notice now that konqueror-plugins wants libwebkitkde.so.1, which I'd have to downgrade 30 other packages to get. So, now, is my konqueror good or not? I don't see any difference, but then I didn't see any difference in any other packages, either. Even after reading carefully the whole page, and reading carefully all the errors, and trying several sets of refused and permitted actions, I still have 3 packages that come up wanting to be upgraded, but requiring downgrading of dozens of other packages to get those upgrades. How do I get a fully up-to-date system? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes but no. :) For me that page is a list and nothing more. Since there is only one repo with KDE 4.3.x on that page I thought it would be obvious. Anyway, if people want to upgrade there is: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Upgrade which is linked at the bottom of the list and has a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade to KDE 4.3. Any other version is not recommended. http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/KDE4 has some explanations as well and is linked at the bottom of the page as well.
