In most cases, YaST replaces old versions with new ones without problems.
A backup of the the existing system should be performed prior to updating
to ensure that existing configurations are not lost during the update. Con-
flicts can then be resolved manually after the update has completed.
Note

page 163). All important changes from previous versions are
listed, including alerts for possible update problems (see Sec-
tion 5.2.1 on page 168).

2.3.6 SUSE Software Development Kit (SDK) 9
The SUSE Software Development Kit 9 is a comprehensive tool kit that sup-
ports application development for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 and
Novell Linux Desktop. In fact, to provide a comprehensive build system,
SUSE Software Development Kit 9 includes all the Open Source tools that
were used to build the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server product. It provides
you, as a developer, independent software vendor (ISV), or independent
hardware vendor (IHV), with all the tools needed to port applications to all
of the platforms supported by the Enterprise Server and the Linux Desk-
top.
SUSE Software Development Kit also contains integrated development en-
vironments (IDEs), debuggers, code editors, and other related tools. It sup-
ports most major programming languages (including C, C++, Java, and
most scripting languages). For your convenience, the SUSE Software De-
velopment Kit includes multiple Perl packages that are not included in the
Enterprise Server.
For detailed information, refer to http://developer.novell.com/
