Hi All,
It's openSUSE 13.2 release day, apologies for posting this a little later than intended, but here are the instructions for Tumblweed and Factory users to move to the 'new' merged Tumbleweed
Tumbleweed users *must* follow these instructions as soon as possible to continue to get rolling updates.
Factory users need to do this within the next 6 months, by which time the old Factory repositories will be removed. We will be sending out reminders as that deadline approaches, but you can do it now.
Remove your existing system repositories
# mkdir /etc/zypp/repos.d/old # mv /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo /etc/zypp/repos.d/old
Then add the new repositories for Tumbleweed
# zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss repo-oss # zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss repo-non-oss # zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/debug repo-debug
Then zypper dup to new Tumbleweed
# zypper dup
REGARDING ADDITIONAL REPOSITORIES: The above instructions will remove ALL additional repositories you have configured. You will need to re-add those you need but please consider the below.
Users who are using additional 'openSUSE_Tumbleweed' repositories from OBS are recommended to either stop using those repositories or wait a few days to ensure the build service has had time sync up and has the packages built for 'new' Tumbleweed. We'll be posting updates here once we have them.
Users who are using additional 'openSUSE_Factory' repositories should be fine, besides the obvious 'name mismatch' which is obviously cosmetic, but will get your packages on your machine while we get OBS to reflect the merger.
Great! A few questions: What is the story with the Tumbleweed "updates" repo that was discussed in the earlier thread? Is that not going to happen at all, or is it happening later, or has a decision not been made? I am not even sure what would go in there if Tumbleweed is a rolling release. I am still unclear about OBS project configuration. In the OBS "Add Repositories to __" page, it lists "openSUSE Factory" and "openSUSE Tumbleweed". Are these the same, or does "openSUSE Factory" pointing to the "testing" project that should only be used by devel projects? If they are the same, what target should devel projects use to build against the "testing" version of Factory, and what should it be called? If devel projects does not already have this target, should it be added? Should publishing of this repository be enabled or disabled? And when you say "devel project", is this any project that has packages that are marked as devel packages for Factory? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
