Hello Users should use zypper dup during the development phase (e.g. your Alpha updates) of Leap or in between individual minor/major releases of Leap. I plan to work on 15.6 roadmap this week. I suppose this will answer your other questions https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap Lubos On Thu, 2023-06-15 at 14:40 -0400, Patrick Shanahan wrote:

Leap itself isn't as strict, and we basically accept new packages / features until the code submission *deadline for Leap 15.6 Beta, which is end of February 2023. Leap 15.6
et al:
This is good news on the continuation of the Leap line . . . personally I don't have any need for added features to 15.5, but a few of questions remain. Assuming the "end of February 2023" actually means "2024"??? So that means those of us with a Leap 15.5 distro could be upgrading to 15.6 Alpha sometime late in '23 or early in '24??
And then, very critical question . . . to "up, or to dup . . . that is the question????" : - )))
when "upgrading" rather than updating, ie: changing opensuse versions, one always uses dup (distribution-upgrade).
there is no question.
