Will KDE2.0 overwrite kde1.x in /usr ? How do you know this? Where is this documented? Which developers or packagers have said this?
No. Because the SuSe version uses different RPM keys and a different path as well. Look at the package yourself and you can verify that will not clash with anything.
I am currently running KDE1.94 side by side with KDE 1.1.2 on SuSE Linux 7.0.
KDE 1.94 is in /opt/kde2 KDE 1.1.2 is in /opt/kde
The SuSE RPMs for KDE 1.94 contain their own version of QT and install into /opt/kde2
See ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/distribution/2.0Beta5/rpm/SuSE/ README
If KDE 2.0 will install over the top of KDE 1.1.2 into /opt/kde it is likely that some of the KDE 1.X apps will break. We as beta testers needed to test this. But it looks like there were two types of beta testers:
1. Those who used the RPMs and other binaries which installed KDE 1.9X side by side with KDE 1.1.X
2. Those who compiled KDE 1.9X for themselves after removing KDE 1.1.X
Only the second type of beta tester would have been able to test to see if the KDE 1.9X libraries broke existing KDE 1.1.X apps. The first type of beta tester would have continued to use the KDE 1.1.X libraries. I am among the first type of beta tester.
I would really like the SuSE packager for KDE 2.0 to clear up my confusion here.
Otherwise I will just keep using KDE 1.94 plus KDE 1.1.2 until some time after KDE 2.0 is released, to see where it is supposed to install and see which KDE 1.1.X apps break.
