No, use zypper dup. The steps above will be unable to deal with splitted packages and other tricks that change during distribution upgrade.
Ok, I did that today and everything seemed to work smoothly.
One final question; what is the proper way to keep it up-to-date from now on?
# zypper up
zypper up does the same thing as YaST2 Online Update.
So, you should use zypper dup
This is no longer true for openSUSE 11.1! zypper up does the same as zypper up -t package did in previous versions. So 'normally' a zypper up is sufficient. (there is not a big difference, as long as the 'product' stays the same. I for myself issue a zypper dup once in a while.. sometimes some old 'garbage' is being removed this way. But this is unlikely to happen at this time, as we're closing up to RCs... so probably not to many packages will be dropped anymore.

Ok, I'm still a bit confused. Sorry for the newbish questions but this is my first time trying to contribute to testing on Factory so I'm still getting my bearings. I'm unsure what the implications of the RCs are to the factory? Now that I'm pointing at the factory repos, is issuing a "zypper dup" or "zypper up" sufficient to keep me on the latest packages? More importantly; is this the best way to contribute to testing in the community? I'm a big believer in SUSE so I want to test and help crush as many bugs as possible so please let me know if this is not the best way. -- John Lange www.johnlange.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
