Hi

I have read the information on SDB:KDE upgrade but I still can’t work out which is the best to get the most stable version of KDE 4.6.3 for 11.4 factory or upstream ?

Thanks

Pat

If you want stability then go for the opensuse kde46 repository, it is made for
that case where you do not want to go for factory (unstable).

Installation (zypper):

KDE-Repo with Alias:


su -
zypper ar -f "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4/" "KDE_4.6"

Increase priority of KDE-Repo:


zypper mr -p 50 "KDE_4.6"

Perform upgrade for KDE:


zypper dup --from "KDE_4.6"

Reboot

Thanks. It’s very unclear which one is preferable in the documentation.

All upgraded to 4.6.3 now :slight_smile:
