Good day Michael, thank you. I am sure it works, as I have seen other postings pointing out this solution. However, I would rather not spend a lot of time updating with an inofficial and untested SuSE KDE service release now, if the same service release will show up as an officiel and tested SuSE KDE service release in YOU next week. Unfortunately Stans answer seems to say that SuSE does not nessecarily see KDE service releases as bugfixes for their primary GUI.

Hello everyone,
I thought about this a while ago and found an answer on suse's kde mailing list.
Open up YaST and go to Change Source of Installation. Add an ftp one, such as this: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-so urce
Use the 'up' button to make sure this is at the top of the list. Then, back at the main window of YaST, choose system update, and and select only update installed packages. There is a details button that shows what is going to be updated, so you can check it out yourself. Since I'm already running 8.2, this didn't update anything except all the kde and related rpms to 3.1.2.
HTH, Mike

Good day,
has anyone got a feeling how long time it usually takes for a KDE service release to show up in YOU?
I'm on SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional.

Depends on whether SuSE feels that the KDE release/update is required for the major SuSE release (8.2 for example). There is the KDE 3.1.2 update available at SuSE's various download sites but the standard update features such as SuSEWatcher and YOU don't see it as it isn't considered a required update to 8.2 at this time.
So, KDE 3.1.2-? may never show up in YOU?
I thought KDE service releases were considered bugfixes (since fixed bugs are the only reason KDE releases them). As such I thought that all KDE service releases would show up in YOU sooner or later -- as bugfixes for SuSEs primary GUI.
