Now come's one of the trickier parts: The upudate repo is pointing to: ftp://mirror.suse.de/update/10.1
What will happen when openSUSE 10.2 get's the 'stable' Distribution an dwill thus be linked in place of 10.1?
Good question - Stano, have we taken care of this already?
No, we don't. The normal online update is for continuous updates of your _current_ system.
... but /pub/suse/update/10.1.42/ already exists (for 3 months now), with an empty rpm directory and a "formally filled" repodata directory: 138 2006-06-13 13:32 filelists.xml.gz 134 2006-06-13 13:32 other.xml.gz 116 2006-06-13 13:32 patches.xml 170 2006-06-13 13:32 primary.xml.gz 1231 2006-06-13 13:32 repomd.xml 189 2006-08-21 12:17 repomd.xml.asc 9055 2006-08-21 12:18 repomd.xml.key
If you want to upgrade to the next release, you must boot from CD1 and select 'upgrade distribution'. This will disable all current repos and register the new update repo.
Usually durinf the alpha/beta stage it is sufficient to select 'upgrade distribution' from within, without booting.
We _might_ publish an optional 'upgrade patch' on 10.1 which disables the update/10.1 repo and adds an update/10.2 repo. Selecting this patch will then switch you to the new repo.
