A lot of developers here do this, so its not a technical problem per se.
I have been upgrading my factory copy with zypper since early alphas and seems it can manage upgrades preyy much fine except for 1. it is slow ( well, that's a general problem) 2. it emits "scary"(for users) errors and then seems to try with --nodeps and continue anyway. 3. it emits equally "scary" "invalid object" messages (wth means in this context..dunno ;) ) 4. Y and N dialogs are still messed up horrible. 5. it failed to upgrade on the libbz2 split ( as well smart, yast do anyway..;) )
However, the QA and testing effort is quite huge and getting it 'fool proof' might be a huge task.
yes, it is probably very, very hard to get right.
Until now, we didn't get sufficient customer request for this to justify the effort.
I would like to see a) upgrade with zypper b) upgrade with CD fully supported.
