I see the repos named "current" are just a link to the current available openSUSE release. Let´s assume I install openSUSE 12.3 and after installation I change the 12.3 repos to "current", won´t I get a rolling release this way?
Kiind of, but a rolling release that only gets updated once every 8 months. Not what is normally understood.
Ok, I see. It would not be a rolling release, but would install the current stable distribution. Just the Tumbleweed repo adds rolling release software.
Yep.
But, it would be a way to update the distribution, to change e.g. the 12.3 repos to "current", once 13.1 is out? This way you can update the whole distribution to the current version?
But why? You loose the advantages of either method. You neither have a rolling release with the most recent software, neither a stable one (because the stable release is not really stable till about a month after release). You don't choose the day of upgrade, they do. And that day you have to do a 'dup', not an 'up', or you don't do it fully... Better keep track of dates, and zypper dup it the day you choose, when you can spare a few hours, not forgetting to do a backup first. No nasty surprises, thankyou ;-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
