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.
