Hi Freek,

However the image I started with, 13.2, is no longer available and there are no updates for this version.
"no updates": Do you mean there is no repository, where updated versions are available? Or do you rather mean that newer images to not work, i.e. are not bootable or similar?
There is no update repository.
AFAIK currently the only working image with openSUSE Tumbleweed is for a 2B. The available openSUSE Tumbleweed images for 1B are not working, but I still have a working image which I can make available after private communication. The repositories for this Tumbleweed version gets regular updates and I have no problems when updating the systems (1B and 2B).
Hmm, I was thinking about installing the tumbleweed image and then changing the repositories and downgrading all the packages to the versions from 13.2. But that may not be a working way, if I understand you correctly...
There is not really a need to do updates unless it is a security update that affects the security of your system. So after installation and configuration you can leave the system as be. No need to keep up with Tumbleweed.
Picking out the security relevant updates would mean manual intervention.
You can't have too many applications on a Raspberry Pi, so the need to do updates is very limited. Just use an x86 with at least the applications you use on the RPi and when you notice that security patches are available for these applications or the underlying system, apply these updates also on the RPi. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
