First: Never ever try a "online distro upgrade" aka "zypper dup" for such a two version step. At best it will seem to work and fail later.
That's been the standard recommendation since forever, but I doubt there's much reason to pay attention to it for this particular case. The way I understand it, Leap is built on a foundation of SLE12+ mixed with packages from Factory aka Tumbleweed, which means package versions in Leap can be older than versions in 13.2.
13.2 currently runs on systemd-0210-25.16.1, Leap on systemd-210-84.1, 13.1 (via updates) on systemd-208, 13.1 (via repositories/Base:/System:/Legacy, which most of my 13.1 installations are already running, poised to go into Evergreen) systemd-210-74.1. At this level, it shouldn't make much difference whether upgrading from 13.1 or 13.2.
13.2's glibc is 2.19, Leap's glibc 2.19, 13.1's 2.18, so likely not significant.
You also have to compare rpm and libzyp, and related. One suggestion was to upgrade those first, then proceed with the rest. But I think I remember someone saying that bugzillas about problems with two version jumps with zypper dup would be wontfixed automatically. That was the meaning of "not supported". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
