Being wrong for a long time doesn't make you right. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1061384 - written by the Release Manager of Tumbleweed "The only valid way to keep TW up-to-date is 'zypper dup'" Warning implimented in zypper-1.13.37 Warning made active on everyones Tumbleweed by line 50 in the openSUSE-release package https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/000release-pac... "Provides: product-update() = dup" When you make your own Tumbleweed you can have it support whatever update mechanisms you want, but the Tumbleweed that is built today is built by folk who've expressed in both words and code that 'dup' is the only way to update your system. Disagree with the words if you want, but the code is right there for you all to see too.
