Repositories on the openSUSE Build Service

See KDE/Repositories for a list of the repositories.

All of those URLs can be used as sources within YaST or Zypper or any other package installer (i.e. Smart), but note that you have to add the specific subdirectory for your distribution (like openSUSE_10.3/).

Upgrade to Latest Version

We have written a quick guide on upgrading to the latest KDE.

KDE 4 Packages

openSUSE packages the very latest development snapshots of KDE 4, and these are updated at least weekly. It is ideal for developers who want to easily develop KDE apps using the latest kdelibs and supporting packages. See these instructions on getting KDE4 set up.

Packaging

Packaging is the lifeblood of a project on a distribution. This is the process by which software gets included in openSUSE so it is available on the DVD or the internet repositories to install. One of openSUSE's strengths is the freshness of our KDE packages, which are frequently updated with bugfixes from KDE SVN before they become generally available in a release.

Much of the KDE core packages are packaged by the KDE Team, but third party software, for example from kde-apps.org is welcome in our Community repositories.

Building KDE Yourself

KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop in the Build Service provides up to date packages of KDE 4 SVN. However, if you want to do more than just try out KDE 4, you may want to compile it yourself:
