What could i do, if SuSE does not offer an upgrade to the latest version?
I am sorry to say, but You could download the source tarball and build a rpm or just compile and install the new version by yourself. It is really not such a difficult task.
The whole thing is a dilemma that is not easy to solve. Our usership expects us to be compatible with ourselves, and people expect us to ship the most recent versions of the packages. Basically, this is the reason for us to make more than one distribution per year. Upgrade, that's what it's for. Guess what we spend our time with, and why it takes a few days more for SuSE to publish update packages, as compared to distributors who support only the latest version of their distribution.
