Why, > what have you gained? maybe I will also :) From opensuse-announce mailing list: This time there will be an exception in policy; KDE 4.3.4 is in "stable" repo now and it will be brought to 11.2 via normal updates soon. Normally there are no version upgrades in openSUSE but this time KDE 4.3.4 will be an exception, so just wait for a while and you will have an "official" more mature environment...

Initially, I was running 11.1 with KDE4.1. Due to there being some things missing in 4.1 that were supposed to be present in 4.3, I added the KDE:Factory repo and upgraded to 4.3.1. While not all the things that were missing are now present, not having meta info for audio, video and images is still a major disappointment, 4.3 was still a nice upgrade. As I was using the KDE4:Factory repo, my 11.1 install finally ended up running KDE4.3.4 for a while. When openSUSE 11.2 was released, I decided to test out the officially supported upgrade method of using zypper to upgrade a running system. I didn't quite follow the steps they gave as I exported all the repos I was using with 11.1 before deleted them from the list. I then edited the exported list of repos so they pointed to those for 11.2 and imported them ready for the upgrade. For some reason, which I can't remember at the moment, I didn't include the KDE4:Factory repo and so after about an hour and a reboot later, I was running 11.2 but with KDE downgraded to 4.3.1. While I'd used it before, it didn't feel quite the same. I can't say exactly what was different but it was enough to make me add the KDE43 repo and upgrade it back to 4.3.4. I've considered adding the KDE4:Factory repo again. It's presently at 4.3.85, which is pre-release version of 4.4, and should become KDE4.4 sometime soon. I think I'll add it to my other 11.2 system, as I like this one as it is, at the moment anyway, just to try and get a feel for it. If I think it's worth it, I may upgrade this system. > Why, > what have you gained? Against 4.3.1, I got the system back to how it felt while running 11.1. Other than that, I can't actually say what the real differences are. > maybe I will also :) It's stable, and you can always revert to 4.3.1 if required, so there's no real harm in trying it.
