Did anyone try to update a i586 installation to Leap using yast? Are we able to cope with the problems arising?
I thought about trying more than once, but don't remember ever finding any 32 bit leap repos. Maybe there should be an oss with nothing in it except a readme?
There are no 64-bit repos, and Coolo isn't going to make any
Coolo is talking about people testing 32-bit to 64-bit upgrades, using the Leap media
I decided to try an HTTP one from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1-Current/repo/oss/, but it did its best to prevent me. I selected EXT4 and mount by Volume Label as default options, then tried to select sda14 as / target, which has 32 bit 13.2 on it, and it wouldn't let me specify / as the mount point, claiming already in use. I found no option to specify upgrade rather than new installation along the way into the expert partitioner. Then I noticed it decided without my input that it would be using a 40G freespace as BTRFS /. Once it let me make sda14 into /, it decided to make the very same sda28 freespace into BTRFS /home. So I aborted the whole installation to make sda28 into NTFS and start over with no freespace available. Again I went to expert, and again it decided in advance a BTRFS, this time sda25. Then I remembered https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547703 and https://features.opensuse.org/308150 remain fallow. I could have sworn upgrading this way used to be simpler, an early on checkbox to say upgrade, picking up mount points, etc. from an existing, without me having to remember what options belong in fstab, instead of pretending to go through a fresh installation. When it decided it needed time zone and root password, I decided this in no way could be an upgrade process, and quit. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
