I've installed openSUSE 12.3 beta1 on my system. Now I would like to have the latest version (as close to 12.3 as is possible) on there so I can not only test but also make screenshots and screencasts with the new artwork added since Beta1.
What repositories should I have enabled? I understand that 'Factory' is open for new package versions, so that's moving beyond 12.3 already. So where is the 'real' 12.3 repo, then?
Stealthily right where intuition tells you they should be. It took me a whole lot of releases to figure the following out. While to look at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/ one would think there are not yet repos for 12.3, fact is they are there. Proof is that if you remove 12.3's existing /etc/zypp/repos.d/*, copy your 12.2 files there, in each file s/12.2/12.3/g, then clean & refresh, zypper and yast will find 12.3's oss, non-oss & update files without complaint. Repos on http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/ can only be seen via web browser after release announcement, even though they do exist once a release branching from Factory has been announced on the mailing lists. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
