The correct name is openSUSE now, I started (liking rosegarden too) on SuSE 7.3. The repos are all connected to download.opensuse.org with /distribution for all the maintained versions 11.0, 11.1 and 11.2 so http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2 is the main repo for 11.2 package installation, it's only got 1.7.3 because nothing stable was available in November. The /factory directory contains the 11.3 development packages and /factory-snapshot is the repo for factory development "milestones", this will have 10.02 as soon as my submit request is accepted. The best pace to get 10.02 for 11.0 to 11.2 is under /repositories which contains all of the development or latest versions before submission to factory. Rosegarden is named rosegarden4 in openSUSE and I've left it like that because of all the possible conflict and update, not to mention red tape, problems with renaming it and it can always be found in :- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/apps/ in the distro version subdirectory. Just to confuse matters further the svn version is available in :- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/plater/ in the distro version subdirectory. This is the repo Michel Munnix was updating from during the svn stage, I will continue updating this with the future version svn. Now you can see the reason for the link I gave, due to each suse version having it's own fixed version of glibc, python xorg qt etc you have to install an rpm built against your systems current version. As I said I will ask on the opensuse project and marketing lists and see if there isn't something a bit better. The link I gave has "one click install" which you simply click on the button and the package is automatically installed but it's a pity that the 10.02 version isn't a bit more prominent. Suse keeps close to Fedora so I suppose they would be similar. Incidentally the build service can also build for Fedora, Ubuntu, Mandriva and Debian but I've yet to venture into the debian based installation packages and I haven't the resources to test anything I build for the other rpm distros.
