RPM's for the new ZoneMinder version are now available in the repositories. Installation/upgrade instructions can be found in the wiki. Required perl modules, which are missing in the normal openSuSE distribution, are also in the repositories and get's installed when solving the dependencies.
Note for openSuSE 10.3 users: I actually have some trouble building ZoneMinder 1.24.0 with ffmpeg support on openSuSE 10.3. I hope that I get it sorted in the next few days. Until then 1.23.3 is still available in the normal repository for 10.3.
Short summarize of the upgrade instructions:
- To upgrade your current ZoneMinder RPM install, just stop ZoneMinder, install the new package and run zm_database_init which will the automatic call the original zm database upgrade script after path checking to the db scripts. (If your path in the config file is wrong zm_database_init will autocorrect the path. all you have to do is to answer the question for that with "y" or "yes"). After that start ZoneMinder by typing "rczm start" and all is done.
- if you just want to update the database the traditional ZoneMinder way (it's recommended to use the wrapper zm_database_init script), edit /etc/zm.conf and change the version to the the new one (1.23.3) and check that ZM_PATH_BUILD is set to /srv/www/htdocs/zm. Then run "zmupdate.pl" and remove the lock file "rm -f /srv/www/htdocs/zm/lock" and start ZoneMinder.

Note: You can also install ZoneMinder (non MP) version from the openSuSE Build Service http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... x:/stable/ so that you can find version for factory and SLED 10 there.
If you find some bugs please report this in the forums and mention that you are using the RPM's
Have a lot of Fun
