The KDE community has just released [Beta 2 of the upcoming 4.10 release](http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.10-beta2.php) of the Development Platform, Workspaces, and Applications. Of course, distributions are providing binary packages for the adventurous... and how could the green distro be left out?
|
||
|
||
In fact, it is not. Beta 2 packages were uploaded and built in the [KDE:Distro:Factory repository](http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories#Factory_aka._KDF_.28KDE_SC_4.9.29). Updated packages have also been submitted to the development version of openSUSE (Factory) as the ultimate goal is having 4.10 in openSUSE 12.3.
|
||
|
||
Before attempting to install them, be aware that:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* This release is mostly aimed at contributors and testers to ensure that the final version is as polished as possible
|
||
|
||
|
||
* You should expect **bugs** of all forms and kinds
|
||
|
||
|
||
* It is not officially supported by openSUSE
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you understand all of the above, add KDE:Distro:Factory from YaST or zypper (see the link above; in case of zypper, use` zypper ar -f <linktorepo> <reponame>`), then trigger an upgrade using your method of choice (in the case of zypper, `zypper dup --from <reponame>`; don't forget the `--from`!).
|
||
|
||
In case you find something that is not working and you are not sure, try posting your impressions in [this special area at the KDE Community Forums](http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=253), and afterwards[ file a bug on bugs.kde.org](http://bugs.kde.org) (as detailed as possible). Feel free to report packaging errors (not bugs in the software) on the [opensuse-kde mailing list](http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/) or on IRC (#opensuse-kde on Freenode).
