(carlos) Yes, not for noob, but we could at least make it intelligible and clear to the second user upgrading from say mint, TW is not rawhide. (TW was my first distro! [after 1 day with crashing kubuntu, and 1 day vomiting on Ubuntu's DE])
Congratulations! :-) Old history (or my recollects on it): *) TW is rather an improved factory (and renamed). *) "zypper dup" was initially designed for factory. *) --no-allow-vendor-change is a recent and most wanted addition to cope with systems having several repos. On these, "zypper dup" would destroy the setup, and "zypper up" worked most of the times (although eventually the system degraded). This situation lasted years, so many people became to think that "zypper up" was the appropriate method for TW that we have today. Side note: please trim the quoted material in the posts. ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
