Which distribution - how to upgrade to 11.3 M4?
Hi all, 1. Which developer version is really installed/running? Initially I installed 11.3 Milestone 1 from DVD iso, and thought I had seen later upgrades to M2 and M3 after several upgrades with 'zypper dup' several times. But now I became unsure which distribution (Milestone) I really have: cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 1 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.3 cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.32-3-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.4.2 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 155802] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-12-04 00:41:46 +0100 Can this really still be Milestone 1 after all package upgrades? How can we verify exactlly which developer distro (Milestone) we currently have? 2. How to upgrade to 11.3 Milestone 4 ? Looking at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3-Milestone4/ there is no 'repo' available, just 'iso' and 'delta' Isn't it possible to use 'zypper dup' to upgrade from a previous Milestone to M4? If not, what is the recommended way to upgrade to M4? The M4 delta DVD iso isn't bootable so that one can run an update installation from there (according to my attempt). Rgds, Terje J.

That looks old. I have here: aj@hp_Mini:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 4 (i586) VERSION = 11.3 aj@hp_Mini:~> uname -a Linux hp_Mini.site 2.6.33-6-default #1 SMP 2010-02-25 20:06:12 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux What does zypper sl -d report about your repositories?

You can either update to openSUSE Factory or use the repository setup when you install a milestone, it is updated for each milestone (download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot...). See my old blog post: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/10/01/updating-in-place-from- opensuse-11-1-to-11-2/

The delta ISO requires the previous version, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

What does zypper sl -d report about your repositories?
In the meantime I did an Update installation to M4 using a NET iso download and boot from CD. Therefore it is maybe not longer of the same interest, but the M4 update installation set up the following repo list (which I thought I had similar before, except with a few additional repos beside, Xorg and OpenOffice Unstable): zypper sl -d # | Alias | Navn | aktivert | Oppdater | Prioritet | Type | URI --+---------------------+-----------------------+----------+----------+-----------+--------+---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | openSUSE-11.3 11.3- | openSUSE-11.3 11.3- | Ja | Ja | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ 2 | repo-debug | openSUSE-11.3-Debug | Nei | Ja | 99 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ 3 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.3-Non-Oss | Ja | Ja | 99 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/non-oss/ 4 | repo-oss | repo-oss | Ja | Ja | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ 5 | repo-source | openSUSE-11.3-Source | Nei | Ja | 99 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ 6 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.3-Update | Ja | Ja | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ The url http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/ looks to be a symlink, because entering it in a browser automatically forwards me to http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/oss/ A question here is what does really the last repo http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ do during the Milestone (factory snapshot) period? I guess it doesn't update the packages to factory level?
2. How to upgrade to 11.3 Milestone 4 ?
Looking athttp://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3-Milestone4/ there is no 'repo' available, just 'iso' and 'delta'
Isn't it possible to use 'zypper dup' to upgrade from a previous Milestone to M4?
You can either update to openSUSE Factory or use the repository setup when you install a milestone, it is updated for each milestone (download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot...).
See my old blog post: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/10/01/updating-in-place-from- opensuse-11-1-to-11-2/
Yes, I followed your blog procedure when I upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2. There is however something in that procedure I wish to use this opportunities to get clarified : The initial two lines say /
/After running my laptop for some time already on openSUSE Factory, I decided to update my workstation now as well to openSUSE Factory – thus upgrading it to openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 8. /
/But in the update 1b) at the bottom, i.e the following command is used
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ "openSUSE Factory Oss"
Doesn't that repo upgrade to that current Factory distribution and not to the M8 snapshot (developement release)? http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_distribution That is, shouldn't the repo instead be http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/ or optionally http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/oss/ to get that latest 11.2 M8 developement release?
