Hi,KDE4.2 Final will release tomorrow! Is it safe to install from KDE website,or Packman will provide it?
AFAIK The Packman repo never provided KDE rpms. The KDE installation is safest if you are installing it from KDE repository.
Which repo? I have 4 repo : OSS,NON-OSS,Packman & OpenSUSE 11.1 Updates. Or I have to add a specific repo for it? So we can upgrade to KDE4.2 tomorrow? Donāt have to wait till it up in repo?
You need to add the kde factory repos
KDE/Repositories - openSUSE

Iām not figured out yet but something is wrong with the dependencies. After disabling my Stable repos, and Selecting Update all the Software Manager wants to remove a lot of plamoids, and it wants to downgrade/remove powerdevil. :\
I have to add this repo? Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1
Add the 4 repo (for your openSUSE release) of the KDE_4.2_Factory_Development section (see theKDE/Repositories - openSUSE wiki page).
All of them?
no, only the one for your SUSE version
Yes, there are 4: desktop, qt, extra apps and community

Just noticed you mentioned that you disabled your stable repos. If you mean you disabled oss and non-oss, donāt do that! Those are the basic OpenSUSE 11.1 distribution repos and youāll find that YaST will need stuff from there to pull in dependencies for lots of things.
The KDE repos for 11.1 have packages with higher version numbers so they will update from whatās in oss by pulling in the higher versions with a right click, all in this list, update to a higher version if available. If you donāt have the oss repo enabled then system libraries needed might really mess up the updating if YaST canāt locate them!
Iām figured it out. PowerDevil gets automatically uninstalled on KDE4.2 update, because it is included in kdebase4-workspace package.
Those 4 repo is not STABLE right? Is it better wait for KDE4.2 Final up in 11.1 STABLE repo? How long should i wait?
If Iām right the KDE4.2 will be in stable repo when 11.2 comes out. You can freely update to KDE4.2 from the factory.
The STABLE repo will remain to 4.1.3 (maybe 4.1.4, but I donāt think so) with security fix only.
You need to use the 4.2 Factory repo if you want a āstabilizedā version on 4.2, or use /trunk (for the upcoming 4.3 branche) if you are a developper⦠or crazzy.
KDE4.2 is released. Iāve added those 4 factory repo,what should I do next? It doesnāt show any updateā¦
Make sure the repoās are enabled
And that you disabled the STABLE kde repos.
>:( errrrā¦installed KDE4.2 from KDE site āone-click installā for my 11.1,install successful,but with a lot of conflictā¦then many problem appear,kwin,plasmaā¦godā¦
Which STABLE repo should I disable? Sorry for this stupid questionā¦Thanks guy.
