[opensuse-arm] Leap 42.2
Leap 42.2 has been released (yeah!) and there are repositories for armv7 and aarch64 (YEAH!). Does anybody know if they work and if so on what machines? I notice there is an appliance for aarch64 rpi3 http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2-Current/ap... and for a general EFI aarch64 device http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2-Current/ap... . Also interestingly there is an ISO image http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2-Current/is... . Perhaps this is for the Softiron server. Does it work with something else? If I have Tumbleweed running on an ARM machine can I upgrade to Leap 42.2 with any hope of success?

It should work with any "server" class system as well as KVM, yes.

That depends. If you're on 32bit ARM, maybe. If you're on 64bit ARM and use btrfs, no. If you're on 64bit ARM and use ext4, you will need to reformat the swap partition, as we changed the page size between 42.1 and 42.2 :). I'd say create a backup and give it a try.
