If -update_123@64bit means what I suppose it does ( i.e. test whether an openSUSE 12.3 upgrade to TW would work ), should it still be part of TW's openQA testing? Likewise for the other tests that seem to refer to older openSUSE versions.
Or do we actually want to support this kind of upgrade scenarios?
Or are my assumptions completely wrong?
No, not wrong. Well, what is "supported" anyway in openSUSE? It's not SLE ;-) So far these upgrade scenarios are feasible to maintain and showed bugs that people could fix easily or they even showed bug that are valid for openSUSE Tumbleweed regardless of the upgrade base. As long as these tests continue to work fine Dimstar will probably want to keep them in TW tests. When they show a problem that no one will want to fix they will probably be thrown out.

Thanks for the explanation. I get the point. Still somehow surprised nobody ever ( IME ) brought this up. Plus, I have the impression that the mentioned test for some reason always finishes after all other tests are over and done with. Does it have a low priority? Or is it actually slowing down testing ? -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
