There doesn't seem to be any SLES 11.2 or later release. SLES 11.1 is the latest (it's labelled as "SLES 11 service pack 1" on the novell website). There aren't any separate Subversion package repositories for point releases of any SLES version on the build service. I suppose that's because all the point releases seem to contain is security and bug fixes. Browsing the release notes for 11.1 at http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP1/ there don't seem to be any changes that would prevent subversion packages compiled for SLES 11 to stop working on SLES 11.1. The list at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_supported_build_targets doesn't list SLES 11.1 separately either. > I would be very happy (it would be awesome and safe worktime). Not only does it save time, it also makes it easier to get important bugfixes quickly. The packages on the build service are kept up-to-date. Whenever a new Subversion release is made, there will be a corresponding update on the buildservice a few days later (and especially fast if the new Subversion release fixes security issues). You can receive this update via yast just like any other update.
