I run zypper up regularly against the 4.3 repo,
and supposedly the latest stable version is 4.3.5.
However, after the latest update I am still showing 4.3.4r2.
Any ideas why this is?
Use the forum-search to find out about the confusing management of KDE4-repos these days. The KDE:KDE43-repository is dead, take the “stable”-repo instead (to upgrade to 4.3.5) or the respective “Factory”-repo to upgrade to 4.4.

Thanks for the tip.

FWIW, I made the change to STABLE, ran zypper up and it said, Nothing to do.
LOL. Apparently I’m stuck with it saying 4.3.4r2.
Change to the Factory_Desktop repos, 4.4.0 is in there, it’s impressive.

‘zypper up’ will only upgrade packages without accepting vendor-changes. If you want to upgrade all packages to the latest versions no matter what repository, type
zypper dup

I ment if there is official announcement of the kde4.3 repo’s being
discontinued, or is just gossip on the forum?
Because i received updates from this repo this week.

It was → announced officially in the german YaST-wiki, for some reason I can’t find that paragraph in the english wiki.
German original:
Projekt KDE 4.3 (KDE 4.3.4 → Überflüssig)
Information Ein Upgrade der in der openSUSE 11.2 enthaltenen KDE 4.3.1 Arbeitsumgebung ist über den hier beschriebenen Weg nicht mehr nötig. Pakete des KDE 4.3 Depots bzw des aktuellen KDE 4.3.5 Desktops sind nun im Stabilen Zweig enthalten und werden über KDE4:/STABLE:/-Depots bzw Standard Pakete über das OS-Update -Depots angeboten. …]
English:

Hmm i also use the community repo and the playground repo for systems using
the KDE:/43/ repo.
I don’t see community and playground repo’s for systems with the STABLE repo
yet.
So i’ll wait untill these repo’s exist.
As far as i could see on the english page (i changed de to en in your link)
The factory repos contain packages under heavy development, that’s not what
i want.
I hope there will be a KDE:/44/ repo someday.

I have used this community repository with the stable-repo (before changing to the factory-repos) and they both worked well together:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2/
I am almost sure it was the same one that I used with “KDE:43”, so the respective playground-repo should work as well.
BTW: you do notice “playground” contains packages of heavily developed software, do you? Hence the name…

Ah thanx, also for the link in your previous post

Just looked at my repo’s and i’m not using it 
But even if i did, it would be for 1 or 2 packages not for a whole desktop.
The way packagemanagement works in opensuse is great!
You can select what you want from one repo and only that and nothing more if
you set the priorities right.
I did that also with the packman repo, there’s way more in that repo then
what i need that would replace supported software from the 11.2 repo.
Less is better when it comes to repo’s.
