Marcus, openSuSE Power That Be, Since 15 does not look like it will be ready by end of life for 42.2, why not take the logical step of extending 42.2 until 15 is ready? The migration to 42.3 with over 1/2 its usable lifetime expired makes little since. In the past when circumstances such as this arose, there were accommodations made to insure there wasn't a forced update to a version that would expire within 12 months. This is another good opportunity to do so. The two-year lifecycle is a good thing, but when version releases are pushed, then it would make sense to extend for just these reasons. I take the fact that 15 isn't out -- as a good sign that it will be robustly tested and QA'ed before making a grand appearance. -- David C.

The upgrade from 42.2 to 42.3 should be very easy. Just replace all occurences of 42.2 to 42.3 in /etc/zypp/repos.d/*, make sure you have enough space available for the upgrade and call `zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change` or something along those lines. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's even better! You did what I wanted to try out eventually. Now what you *could* do as next step is package that script in a package on OBS and submit it to openSUSE Leap. If you do that I will promise to write an openQA test for our automatic tests on openqa.opensuse.org :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you, If it's that easy, maybe even I can do it :) I've followed most of the 42.3 hiccups, so barring any problems, this looks like an easy upgrade (which will be a first -- I've never done an upgrade - since 7.0 (air) -- Always a clean install) -- which I would like to avoid like the plague... -- David C.

I've upgraded two test systems, it _is_ very easy. You need to enable the logrotate timer yourself, that is the only hiccup I've seen. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

"should be" is the key word ;-) I agree with you, it should be easy. I have been upgrading my machines since 5.3, and certainly Leap is easy to upgrade, at least wtihin the minor numbers. I use the offline method, though. However, the procedure can barf. Break. There is some danger, and it needs some time preparing, like making a full backup just in case, have some time for the machine being offline or not usable while adjusting things after the upgrade (review all the rpmold/rpmnew config files). Some people had bad experiences, so they try to do the minimal upgrades. Some people jump over some versions for whatever reasons and wait for the next instead. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
