My understanding is that "SloRoll" is the next iteration of Leap. But, I've seen some of the discussion about problems getting "SloRoll" installed; my question is will it be possible to move from Leap to "SloRoll" via editing the repos . . . to???? something basic, like "15.7," which is very easy to type, OR would it have to be "S-l-o-R-o-l-l" typed out, one letter at a time??
Or, nope, "SloRoll" is an entirely fresh install, it doesn't share much repo DNA with the elderly Leap filesystem, provided with different repo addresses, so no way to get there by simple edits???
I've done one upgrade from a TW and five upgrades from Leaps, all successfully, all only via changes within /etc/zypp/repos.d/ and using zypper. I meant to do another last night, but forgot to not upgrade the TW first, so won't be doing that one until after the next roll, which should be due. I only do the edits once. They stay on my LAN server, and get copied to the target's /etc/zypp/repos.d/. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
