I've just installed opensuse 11.1 with KDE 4.1 as my desktop and would like to participate in testing out KDE 4.2. How do I set up my system to get it? I understand that I need to add some additional repositories, which ones are they (as I understand that the repository for 4.2 is moving sometime this month)?
The info page about it is at http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/KDE4. While they are not actually linked from that page yet, here are the one-click installer links for the 4.2 betas (currently beta2): Default desktop install: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/Extra- Apps/openSUSE_11.1/KDE4-DEFAULT.ymp which also includes Just the bare essentials, ma-am: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/Desktop/openS... BASIS.ymp
Once I get the correct repository how do I go about installing the packages? Will yast automatically pick the updated packages up or will it still try to get packages from the normal opensuse update repository?
These one-clicks will add the repositories and then install the packages. YaST basically examines all packages from all enabled repositories and picks the newest (greatest version number) package available. The usual disclaimers about unreleased software that may eat your homework, change your world-view and ruin your marriage apply ;).
