Setup KDE Plasma 6.4 DEV on openSUSE Tumbleweed (VENV)

 After standard openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma 6.2.5 deployment add extra repos . It's important to use a higher priority (which means a lower value!) than the main openSUSE repos and issue as root zypper dup --allow-vendor-change for the switch .  

# zypper ar -fp 75  \ https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Qt/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ KDE:Unstable:Qt

# zypper ar -fp 75 \ https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Frameworks/openSUSE_Factory/ KDE:Unstable:Frameworks

# zypper ar -fp 75 \ https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Applications/# KDE_Unstable_Frameworks_openSUSE_Factory/ KDE:Unstable:Applications

# zypper ar -fp 75 \ https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Extra/KDE_Unstable_Frameworks_openSUSE_Factory/ KDE:Unstable:Extra

Now run system upgrade

# zypper -v dup --allow-vendor-change
