How to upgrade to KDE 3.3.2?

I've got SuSE 9.2 and it seems to have KDE 3.3.0 How to upgrade to 3.3.2 which is now out? Should I d/l all the packages (it's a long list on kde.org)? If I use Konstruct will it upgrade a current version or it will make a NEW INSTALL?

This came up a little while ago. Search LQ for "SuSE YAST repository KDE upgrade" or something similar. There is a link to a current YAST KDE repository.

Alternatively, the manual upgrade route is fairly simple (just takes a lot of downloading

) and will work just as well.

Update your YaST sources. This thread may help.

thanks 2all, I added installation source and updated KDE via Install/Remove. As a matter of fact, I was trying to do it via System Update, but in vain. Then found a how-to on suse forum.

I am wondering.... KDE 3.3.0 seems to be just fine. So, would there be any advantages if I'd upgrade to KDE 3.3.2 ? Are there any signifikant differences between the two versions anyway? I would like to hear from people who have actually done the upgrade :-)

Personally I do not think that there is a significant improvement in 3.3.2 over 3.3.0. Some bugs are fixed, some features improved. Nothing really to die for. Just for update-freaks like myself, who update for the sake of update
