My webserver is running a Magento 1.8.1.0 that uses php-curl under the hood. It runs openSUSE 12.3 and:

PHP 5.3.17
Apache 2.2.29
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.33
OpenSSL 1.0.1j

The curl version installed is:

curl -V
curl 7.28.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.28.1 OpenSSL/1.0.1j zlib/1.2.7 libidn/1.25 libssh2/1.4.3
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP

I need to upgrade the curl to at least v. 7.34 since my version of curl doesn't support TLSv1.2 for php and PayPal is obliging to use TLSv1.2.

I tried running:

zypper update curl
Loading repository data...

Warning: Repository 'openSUSE-12.3-Update' appears to be outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.

Reading installed packages...
No update candidate for 'curl-7.28.1-4.47.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...

It seems that there are no updates available for my openSUSE-12.3 OS.

Since it is a production server what is the best way to upgrade curl on the machine?

Should I add another repository containing the latest version of curl and run zypper update again?

Do you have any suggestion on how to handle this upgrade without breaking anything?

The best way (maybe not the most simple one) is to upgrade the whole server, not only curl.

openSUSE 12.3 is end-of-life since Jan 29th 2015. This means your production server has all security problems which were found since almost 2 years.

Download newest curl package:

https://curl.haxx.se/download.html

or from git:

git clone https://github.com/curl/curl.git

and:

./configure --with-ssl && make && make install
