Hey Greg,
You have to, otherwise upgrading won't work ;) Don't forget your other repositories (Packman, KDE4 and all the others). You have to adapt repository Path to 11.2, too
I'm trying to follow the actual instructions which say to disable all repos. Then I added only the 3 11.2 repos listed.
In this case all other packages from those repos may behave unexpected, but
It is the results of zypper in zypper that I find very unexpected.
I skipped this information
I'm just trying upgrade one package "zypper". I was not expecting 172 MB of download and what looks like hundreds of packages to be upgraded / downgraded.
You can take a look on the list of depencies of zypper. Those packages have other dependencies as well. I am not surprised that hundrets of packages need to be upgraded and I suppose that's the reason why the new version of zypper is not available for 11.1.
Exactly. Zypper requires e.g. newer libzypp. And e.g. yast depends on libzypp - that's why many yast packages must be pulled in, too. And it goes similarly for the rest.
Thanks, re: the next upgrade cycle (11.3) It would seem to be a good goal that the 11.2 fully updated zypper be the official upgrade path to 11.3, not having users have to pull zypper from 11.3 to perform a supported upgrade. It is just one package, so surely it can be made sufficient to the task without forcing a full yast / kde update as a preliminary step in the upgrade process. re: current situation I added a comment to the Upgrade/11.2 wiki entry to say the "zypper in zypper" step may result in hundreds of packages being updated and take 10's of minutes to complete. At least then users following the wiki will not be surprised as I was by the large number of package modifications required by what appears to be a simple single package update command. ie. It took me 30 minutes to do that one step. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
