Today I ran zypper up on 12.1 and it seemed to want to upgrade the distribution; at least it said

that sounds reasonable *if* this is a new install, which was not connected to the net during initial install, or was not allowed to update as part of the install process....and, has not been updated since installation.. that is to say: the install disk images for 12.1 was 'frozen' in November 2011 and there have been LOTS of updates along the way since then...so, if you just installed (or are just not first running in the updates) there are LOTS of packages needing to be updated..
I guess it has something to do with the release of 12.2.
no, nothing to do with 12.2
Is it necessary to upgrade? Is this a safe way to do it?
(having read your "All of them has 12.1 in the baseurl" in an earlier post today--running "zypper up" will not upgrade your system to 12.2.. if yours is a fresh install of 12.1, but 12.2 is what you wish for: it would be best (i guess) to do a clean fresh format install of 12.2......OR do the "zypper up" on 12.1 and _then_ follow one of the upgrade paths from 12.1 to 12.2 as outlined in these: http://tinyurl.com/35p966c http://tinyurl.com/6kvoflv http://tinyurl.com/7l4m2td -- dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
