[ale] SLES, OpenSuse and the 11.1 conundrum

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Okay.
First, it looks like your OS repositories are missing.  There should be a SLES11-SP1-Pool and a SLES11-SP1-Updates.  Second, you already have an rpm version of subversion installed.
If you upgrade to SLES11 SP2, the officially supported/provided version is:  subversion-1.6.17-1.11.1.  If that version is new enough, you could upgrade to SP2 as follows.
You need to get your OS repos installed, then do the following steps:
1.  zypper install suse_sles-sp2-migration
2.  zypper install sle-sdk-sp2-migration
3.  suse_register -d 2 -L /root/.suse_register.log
4.  zypper dup
Obviously, make a backup first.

Beyond that, you are going to have to install something from the OpenSUSE Build Service or compile from source.
If you are going to install another rpm version from OBS, you need to probably remove the current one.  If you want to compile from source.  Either way, those OS repos are going to be needed.

Repository 'pid_repo' is out-of-date. You can run 'zypper refresh' as root to update it.
