Update to KDE 4.6.1

English Applications
#1

Hi,

Sorry for stupid question, but it’s not obvious for me.

Currently I’m running 11.4 with default 4.6.0 KDE version installed. I want to have KDE 4.6.1 as it has many bug fixes I need. So, do I have to add some repositories to update, change vendors or whatever, or I can just wait until new KDE version will come as update in the regular openSUSE update repository?

Thx a lot for clarification in advance.

remove any existing kde repos

as su -

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ kde46

zypper ref

(a) to accept

zypper dup -r kde46

OR
On kde46
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Switcher%20Pics/package%20switch%20kde.png

Then do the switch again on Packman

WAIT: he wrote he’s using openSUSE 11.4; shouldn’t he be using

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4/

instead of ~/…11.3 ??

and the same with packman, of course: 11.4 instead of 11.3.

It might be worth waiting a little as that repository is in transition to KDE-4.6.2. Updating right now will probably lead to conflicts and a broken system.
