Hi  
Have a read here;  
[https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE\_repositories#Latest\_KDE\_SC\_4\_release](https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#Latest_KDE_SC_4_release)

There is a frameworks build on the openSUSE Build Service;  
[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/SLE\_12/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/SLE_12/)

Totally unsupported of course…

Hi  
No problem, that’s what the forums are here for 😉

It would be interesting to see how it goes for you, post back if you do  
have issues and will see if can get them sorted.
