WARNING – We have reports that this update does not (yet) work properly on x86_64. We’re looking into it<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fellow openSUSE users!<\/p>\n

Of course you have anxiously been waiting for the GNOME 2.32 release<\/a>. We all have. It took us a few moments to prepare a repository that we can offer you in order to update your openSUSE 11.3 installation, which was based on GNOME 2.30, to the latest and greatest GNOME 2.32!<\/p>\n

After having GNOME 2.32 prepared for openSUSE:Factory we decided to branch this off to also have our openSUSE 11.3 users profit from it. It showed that all in all the release was a rther simple one to offer. So no reason to not to!<\/p>\n

What do you need to do? It’s rather simple: you need two repositories in plus for your system, from the Build Service:
\n* GNOME:STABLE:2.32 (the actual gnome 2.32 packages)
\n* openSUSE:11.3 (the base OSS repository)
\n(some might wonder now as in the past there used to be a GNOME:Backports:* repository required in plus. Considering that not adding this repository was the most common source of errors, we decided to no longer split out the Backport required packages)<\/p>\n

Once you have those repositories added, make sure that the GNOME ones have a higher priority than openSUSE 11.3 OSS repoasitory (attention: in zypper\/yast, a lower number means higher priority) and then simply start
\n zypper dup<\/code><\/p>\n

This should get your installation fully updated to GNOME 2.32.0. *SHOULD* unfortunately. It seems zypper is having a hard time with us and misses out on various packages. You can see those by executingzypper lu -a<\/code> Make sure to update all the remaining packages from the GNOME 2.32 repository, as otherwise there will be issues with the system (missing \/ crashing panels and the like are very common). In our tests, those packages were affected of not being installed with zypper dup: evolution-data-server, gnome-utils, gtk2, gtk2-32bit, gtk2-engines and nautilus.<\/p>\n

Should you experience any problems with this, make sure to drop us a note on “openSUSE-gnome [ at ] openSUSE [ dot ] org” or join us on #openSUSE-gnome @ irc.freenode.net, where we hopefully can resort any problems you might be facing.<\/p>\n

Nothing more left to say than, in a traditional openSUSE way:
