I'm trying to update GIT to the latest version. The package manager for opensuse 11.1 only has up to git 1.6.0.2. I'm updating using zypper:

 sudo zypper install git

And I get the following message:

 Loading repository data...
 Warning: Repository 'openSUSE-11.1-Update' appears to outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.
 Reading installed packages...
 'git' is already installed.
 Resolving package dependencies...
 Nothing to do.

How do I change the repository URL for zypper and what should it be pointing to?

Thanks in advance

    The reason you are getting this message is that openSUSE 11.1 itself is outdated and no longer supported. It is unlikely that you will find a curren mirror for 11.1. If updating to a newer release of openSUSE is out of question, compiling git from source may be your best option. – Adaephon Oct 13 '14 at 08:55
  • Unfortunately installing from source run me into a number of problems since other libraries that the latest git required were out of date. It's not idea but it looks like I'll have to update the OS – Fraser Oct 13 '14 at 10:29

Sadly, you are going to probably have to upgrade if you don't want to install from source.

For future reference, you may want to try OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or OpenSuSE Evergreen as these repos provide continuous and long term support.
