Hey, This is just what I did, and upgrade process didn't update a lot of packages (i.e. KDE is stuck at 4.6.5), because "zypper update" doesn't change vendor back from openSUSE-Tumbleweed to "normal" openSUSE. Do we need to use "zypper dup"?
If so, this can be problematic in case we have (like I do) other Tumbleweed repositories selectedi.e. (Packman, Subpixel, ...), etc...
Please read the documentation at http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed
This part might be of interest:
""" The only supported method of repo use for Tumbleweed is to have only the main repos (Oss, Non-oss, and Update) and the Tumbleweed repo active. For that situation a simple
zypper dup
will update your packages, and if any packages are ever reverted from Tumbleweed zypper dup will also handle that.
Despite it being unsupported, if you do choose to have other repos enabled, this command is safer:
zypper dup --from Tumbleweed """

There is lots of good info in this thread that is not in that page. It would be great if someone would consolidate this thread into it. Fyi: greg kh treated the 11.3 => 11.4 transition similar to this one, but I don't recall the concept of a "current" opensuse repo before. Using it is not yet on the portal page. In my case, I disabled tumbleweed a few weeks ago and upgraded to 12.1-rc1, then -rc2, and now gm. Now i just need to re-enable tumbleweed. It seems like a fairly reasonable method, so it might be good to document (on the portal) that as a methodology to consider. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
