[opensuse-factory] Upgrade test 42.1 -> 42.2 Beta
Hi, I tried today an upgrade of a fully patched 42.1 system to the current 42.2 beta. No additional repos were active (it was a testing VM anyway), so the 42.1-system was quite lean and clean. Having the pain of the KMail3 -> Kmail4 migration in mind, I was interested if the migration of the KMail accounts works. Upgrade was via zypper dup The result was quite positive: Except that the shutdown via the KDE Menu was not possible, the system remained reactive and could be shut down via command line. KMail accounts were working as well, but I was quite surprised to see that KMail is still in version 4.14.10. Is 5.x not the latest version? As well, we have around 250 packages that are downgraded compared to the current patched 42.1 (list can be provided is someone is interested). Will we see this change in RC1?

Yes, I also stumbled over this one but it's obviously the safer choice. Also see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001872 especially https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001872#c5 which states that this is "done on purpose to prevent breakages. 42.2 +1 will get away with kdepim4 entirely, like in TW." "How to go to kdepim5 then?" you might ask. Well, that is supposed to work by installing "kontact5 kmail5 korganizer5 knotes5 kaddressbook5" which will pull in all KDE PIM5 applications and will replace the KDE PIM4 versions (resolve conflicts on install accordingly). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I repeated the migration today with the RC1 files, and afterwards installed Kmail5 etc. Account settings were taken over (although I had the impression that all mail was synchronized again). So it looked not that bad! Next I need to check if some of the nasty 4.x bugs (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338969 ) are gone I updated the above bug with some comments Cheers Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
