From: Marcus Meissner [mailto:meissner@suse.de] Subject: [security-announce] Advance discontinuation notice for openSUSE 11.2 Dear opensuse-security-announce subscribers and openSUSE users,
SUSE Security announces that the SUSE Security Team will stop releasing updates for openSUSE 11.2 soon. Having provided security-relevant fixes for the last two releases and two months, we will stop releasing updates after May 12th 2011.
Not unexpected.
Does anyone know if live-update is again supported as it was to 11.2?
Is is possible to live-update directly to 11.4? That would certainly be a bonus!
Thanks!
If by live-update you mean upgrade a running system to the next distro release, yes, its been possible for the last few releases, with varying success. From 11.3 -> 11.4 seems to generally work well, via "zypper dup", on a live system. (Though its probably good to end any X sessions, and only one user logged in, and of course have plenty of backups) From what I understand this is semi-supported, obvious bugs have been fixed, corner cases (weird combinations of repos/packages) still cause problems. YMMV. If you were starting from 11.2 you probably have to go 11.2 -> 11.3 -> 11.4, not directly. If you're feeling brave and helpful, someone was asking for help testing "yast2 wagon" - gui version of zypper dup.
