I run a nightly rsync to get the KDE repositories loaded locally and I now
see that there’s a new directory at /repositories/KDE:/42, with sub dirs for
openSUSE_11.1 etc.
What is /42 for? - apart from THE ANSWER 
- I’m guessing it’s a STABLE
version of 4.2
Should I be including this repository in my zypper lists?
Alan
This has been discussed in the pre-release/beta section of the forum here When is 11.1 KDE4 Reloaded due? - openSUSE Forums
Change to the new 42 repo for it is a stable repo for KDE 4.2.
Good Luck,
Ian
It’s freeze of 4.2.2 and is connected to the following:

Index of /repositories/KDE:/42 exists now.

Please everyone do :-)…

I may be wrong but isn’t it to free the Factory repo and put the 4.3 version there? To get rid of the unstable repo?

IIUC - 42 is now the frozen version of Factory so for those boxes I’ve got
using Factory I should swap that for 42?

Or rather replace
repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1
with
repositories/KDE:/42/openSUSE_11.1
?

Caf,
could you repost a new list of the repos for KDE4.2 please?
I am getting a little confused here, specially inlight of a recent update that loaded new amarok and caused some dependencies problem for me (digikam, gwenview). Then, I had to remove kde4-gwenview, in order to resolve it.
Thanks!
Be advised you are using Factory repo’s here and they take some managing.
Currently I have
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_Factory_Desktop
And some packages you had installed with the kde4 prefix may need deleting
eg; kde4-digikam
It will show red in software management and in the versions tab, no source will be available because it’s not there anymore.
Delete these and install the digikam package in the factory desktop.
I fairly sure kde4.3 development will shift here in a few weeks. So more fun.
There is the frozen repo of 4.2 referred to earlier if you don’t want to move on with 4.3.*
Hello,
I am currently using OpenSuSE 11.1 with the default KDE 4.1.3. Now I have seen in this post, that there is a new repository for KDE 4.2.2, but this is not mentioned at en.opensuse.org/KDE4. As I would like to use the system at work, I would like to ask you, if you can recommend using this KDE 4.2.2 version instead of the default KDE 4.1.3 ?
So far I have not changed to the factory repository, because I thought the default OpenSuSE-11.1-KDE4 would perhaps be more stable. Can the new KDE4.2 repository be regarded as stable now?
And are there any instructions on how to update to KDE 4.2 using the new repositories? Unfortunately there seems to be no 1-Click-Install so far, and I have read about some conflicts when using the factory-repository.
Thank you very much for your help!

KDE4.2 Stability - your guess is as good as mine, but I’ve been running on
Factory (which was 4.2 - now moving to 42 - and Factory becoming 4.3) for a
while now and, although there is the occasional problem, the additional
features of 4.2 make it worth upgrading from 4.1
As I understand it Factory is a sort of half-way house between Stable and
Unstable. Stable, as its name implies should be reliable and Unstable may
just crash on you so don’t use it in a production environment. Factory is a
reasonably stable version of Unstable for those who want the new features
ASAP and can live with the occasional problem - i.e. use Stable in a
business environment, Factory at home and Unstable in spare PC/VM to help
KDE devs by testing and reporting bugs.

Thank you very much for your help.
I have installed KDE 4.2.2 now using the 1-Click-Install of the factory repository and changed the repository afterwards to the new KDE4.2 one. So far the new KDE 4.2.2 seems to be more stable than KDE 4.1 and I hope it was the right decision to do the update.
Thanks again!
