But then today I decided to make sure that I in fact had RC2 and decided to use the iso and envoke not the Installation option but the (?)Upgrade Existing system. Doing so resulted in what I described in my first post: ALL of my repos were deleted leaving me with only the DVD and ~580MB of files were downloaded.
It has been this way since some releases,
Nope. See below.
if you go with the defaults during a DVD- or NET-based upgrade. But you have two places where you can change it: * On the screen where you choose that you want to upgrade an existing system, you have a checkbox, that you want to use additional repositories during the upgrade. If you check it, you are presented with the community repositories to add to your repositories during the upgrade. * Doing an upgrade, there is always a screen which shows your old repositories. The default is to remove all of them. I think this is a sane default, because they are mostly based upon an oder openSUSE version. But you can retain them disabled or enabled during the upgrade. I just do not know whether you can change the repository URLs on this screen.
Yes, you can edit them, but last time I tried was with 12.3. However, if you activate, say, the oss-repo, the result is that the internet source is preferred to the DVD, even for packages that exist on the DVD. It is not an usable feature. However, on 12.3, after the upgrade, the system would have the default 4 repositories reactivated. That 13.1 does not is a BUG, found and reported already on RC1. I have no idea why RC2 has not solved this bug. However, it has an easy bypass: go in YaST to add repositories, community repositories, and then click to add the four repos. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
