Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308351, revision 3 Title: Make Live Updates Easy openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Description: The infrastructure is there for Live updates and it works with "zypper dup" but there are many manual steps. This is too complicated, users need first to google for the details before using it. We need an easy way to update from 11.2 to Factory, from 11.2 to 11.3 and from Factory to 11.3. Easy means: A single command line that does by default the update from 11.2 to 11.3 and offers the others as well. Discussion: #1: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2009-11-18 10:32:11) This is already implemented. The product definition and release package have a mechanism which, after upgrading the definition via a normal update, the defnition can tell which are the possible upgrade paths (11.x+1, Factory) and whether they should be announced to the user or not. The PackageKit ZYpp backend reads this upgrade paths and notifies the user via the desktop using the PackageKit distupgrade-available signal. If the user clicks to continue, a custom distro action can be started, in this case, we start YaST wagon, which is a module which first presents the user all available upgrade paths, or allows to enter a custom repository, then updates the stack and itself and then performs the dup algorithm. This infrastructure has not been tested because it needs some coordination overhead. + #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-11-18 12:13:09) + This would mean an upgrade offer for everybody that currently runs 11.1 + /11.2 to the next version triggered by a patch from our side, correct? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308351
