Of course you can add that the base system will not have major changes in the major cycle, and thus installing the service packs should be pretty safe, especially on servers, where the service packs probably won't change much at all.
the solution is really there, if applying service pack is not worst than making zypper up, why should this be a problem?
But that is not the case. Installing the service packs will be like a normal distupgrade. I.e. you'll need to modify your repo URLs and run zypper dup, and hope that all your funky OBS home repos and packages exist for 42.2 also etc, and that the Nvidia blob repo has been published etc.
The only way it'll differ from an old style distrupgrade afaict, is that the base system won't change too much, except probably the kernel in most service packs.
Possibly the YaST Wagon module could make things easier. I don't know much about that.
I used to test Wagon in 11.x days. It didn't have much value add over Zypper and I'd forgotten about it. Here's the old wiki page: https://old-en.opensuse.org/Wagon For the REPO management is says: === Ensure you have the the correct repositories enabled If not already running, start yast Click repository management Disable all repositories not 11.3 compatible Add these repo's by url: "openSUSE 11.3 Oss" - http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ "openSUSE 11.3 Non-OSS" - http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/non-oss "openSUSE 11.3 Updates" - http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ Search for updated openSUSE 11.3 compatible third-party repositories and add them. WARNING: Use with caution. Using third-party repositories could increase the chances that the upgrade will not completing correctly. Exit Yast === That's not very automated. Maybe it works better in SLED? or SLES?
