General tumbleweed question:
is there something like a limit how much "versions" i am able to NOT install?
with other words:
- if i read the "snapshoot release" and i figure out i will have a problem
with this (and maybe some next) release(s), or if i have no time to install immediately.> how many snapshoots could i skip without running into a problem?
thanks for info,

I don't think we have specified a limit, but given we still support upgrading from older versions of leap you should be thinking in terms of years rather then days or weeks we are normally pretty slow at removing code needed to migrate from packaging.
That is correct. Basically you should think about the risk of upgrade problems introduced that can not be easily fixed and tests. There is one openQA test that is testing just the upgrade from the previous TW snapshot to the current one plus upgrade tests from many older versions, e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?test=update_13.1-gnome&arch=x86_64&... for an upgrade test from openSUSE 13.1 to current Tumbleweed. Just recently the upgrade tests from openSUSE 12.X were removed because they were too hard to maintain from the test perspective but it should still work with just minor conflicts that need to be resolved by hand. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
