[zypp-devel] [zypper-1.11.20] NEW global option '--releasever' for distribution upgrades
by Michael Andres 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Some of you may know about the '$releasever' placeholder which can be used in yum .repo files. On openSUSE the variable is substituted by the current distributions version (here 13.1): $ zypper ar -f -n 'packman ($releasever)' \ http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/\$releasever packman Adding repository 'packman (13.1)' ................................[done] Repository 'packman (13.1)' successfully added Enabled : Yes Autorefresh : Yes GPG check : Yes URI : http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/13.1 $ cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/packman.repo [packman] name=packman ($releasever) enabled=1 autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/$releasever $ $ zypper lr packman Alias : packman Name : packman (13.1) URI : http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/13.1 Defined like this, the repo will always match your distributions version. After having upgraded to 13.2, the repo will be 'packman (13.2)' at http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/13.2 (provided the directory layout on the server does not change and a repo for this version is already available). The missing link is the distribution upgrade itself; the system is still 13.1 but you want to refer to the 13.2 repos. This gap is now closed by the new '--releasever VERSION' global option. It allows to define the substitution value for '$releasever': $ zypper --releasever 31.2 lr packman Alias : packman Name : packman (13.2) URI : http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/13.2 To check where '$releasever' is used and where still fixed version strings try: $ zypper --releasever @--HERE--@ lr -u You can directly edit the /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo files and add $releasever to names and baseurls. Don't use it within the alias, it won't be replaced there. If all repos are prepared you can try switching to the new version repos: $ zypper --releasever 31.2 refresh If you're lucky and all required repos are available you can upgrade: $ zypper --releasever 31.2 dup Once openSUSE 13.2 is installed, the --releasever option is no longer needed. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX GmbH, Development, ma(a)suse.de Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 74 053-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Linux GmbH GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Jennifer Guild Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
