NetworkManager 0.8 not in software manager?

#1

I am trying to update my gnome network manager to version 0.8 as described here:

NetworkManager - Linux Networking made Easy

When in opensuse software manager only version 0.7.1 is listed. When is version 0.8 going to be there?

I found 0.8 here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64/NetworkManager-gnome-0.8-51.11.x86_64.rpm

But it says it’s for GNOME:Factory/openSUSE_Factory and I have opensuse 11.2.

openSUSE_factory repository are very new packages, maybe not tested enough. Not recommended in general.

If you want to try out programs from the Factory repositories, you can add those repositories and install programs from them. Use the zypper command or Yast tool.
