My niri Noctalia on Tumbleweed is not updating with either Zypper or Myrln. Newer versions of niri and shell have been out now for some time.
zypper and Myrlyn “see” the same things and thus act the same.
But please when you tell some story, show where you based it on. In this case showing why you think there is a newer version in the repository and then showing something like zypper dup to prove that the package is not updated will help others to understand what is going on.
Maybe your real question is:
The aplication seems to call home and shows me that there is a newer version. When can I expect this to become available in Tumbleweed?
Add this repository
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:neifua/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:neifua.repo
One should be very careful advising home: directories to people. Even when you think you can handle the eventual disadvantages yourself.
That’s because it’s not part of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
The installation instructions tell you to add their home repo:
A home repo is completely the responsibility of the repo owner, not of the openSUSE distribution.

- noctalia-qs-0.0.12-2.2.x86_64.rpm from 2026-04-01 04:15
- noctalia-qs-0.0.12-2.3.x86_64.rpm from 2026-04-04 03:19
Notice that it usually takes some time between a new source tarball being checked into OBS, the binary RPM being built , and some hours until it’s actually published and available on the download servers. Who knows what information from where that pop-up dialog shows; it might be the current version on their GitHub repo release page.
Obviously it took them 3-4 days from their source release until checking it into OBS and the binary package being released. Blame them, not us.
Something the TO forgot to mention in hi first post 
Thank you very much help there. Those rpms update to qs just fine. Again thanks. And yes the repo was added that is how it was installed. Now just need to find an rpm of the noctalia shell 4.7.5 somewhere.

When you install from something else then the standard repos, being it from another repo, outside any repo or whatever source, please mention so in your first post. Your fellow users here are willing to help, but they are not clairvoyant.
Same home project repo, but in noarch:
Thank you. Not showing up in the repo but the noarch rpm fixed me right up. Thank you very much.
