[opensuse-factory] Upgrading from RC1 to RC2 from DVD iso
I decided to "upgrade" RC1 to RC2 by using the RC2 DVD iso I downloaded a few days ago. In doing so, the "upgrade" DELETED *all* of my existing repositories listed in YaST leaving the DVD as the only "repo". Is this what is really supposed to happen?

I don't know, but I'm going to guess +1, reason being, upgrade is intended for application of 13.1 against 12.3 (or older), not 13.1 against 13.1, which would be a "repair", not an upgrade, likely maybe also to replace repos. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

OK, I'll go along with the first part of what you state, namely that it is intended to upgrade an earlier version than 13.1 Beta==>RC1. But then if it IS the intent to upgrade, say, 12.3 to RC2 then if it is going to wipe out all the repos in YaST it must replace them with the new ones intended for 13.1 - but it didn't do this, it just left me with no repos at all. (BTW, when I did do this "upgrade" (from RC1 to RC2) the process decided in its wisdom not only to wipe out all the repos but it also downloaded some 580+MB of files! I found this amusing because my RC1 has been kept up-to-date on a daily basis.)

Unless I have missed something, the above report refers to upgrading 12.3 - and NOT 13.1-anything - using the DVD iso. In any case, the first report is dated 25the and the iso was released on 30th.

It's still the same bug. It's an issue that would affect you upgrading to 13.1 from 12.1... or 12.2.. or 11.4.. or whatever. The fact you upgraded from 13.1RC1 to RC2 doesn't make any difference to the core problem identified in the bug. As for time between 25 and 30 Oct to fix the problem? No clue... It needs to be fixed before release though.

Hi According to: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-10/msg00124.html Once you have any form of 13.1 and you keep doing zypper dup, you'll pass through all the beta and rc stages until you end up with the release.

Don't know..... I had RC1 installed and I, too, had the above repos plus several others which I installed manually (eg, packman, videolan,....). I also "moved" effortlessly from RC1 up to RC2 on a daily basis using zypper. 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.

Thanks Basil, Just to confuse me (us?) further, download.opensuse.org/distribution/ has subdirectories for 11.4, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and 13.1-RC2, but not plain vanilla 13.1.

I am not knowledgeable, but it was always the same before the release: * The directory 13.1 will appear only a short time before the real release. * During the RC-Phase, you can use http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/ (and corresponding URLs). They redirect to another directory which contains the RC. * When 13.1 is ready for distribution, it will appear under the correct link. As long as you use the "13.1-URL" you just need to do an update to get the final versions.

Thomas, Many thanks for this clear explanation, which makes perfect sense. I think what confused me was that I was expecting a whole lot of newer versions of packages to appear when RC2 was announced, but there was just a newer kernel. Presumably my machine was pretty much up to date when 13.1 was redirected from 13.1-RC1 to 13.1-RC2.

I don't recall who it was who mentioned this but there is an internal (to openSUSE) redirection system in place which redirects "your" requests to the right repos. Having said this, if you look at what you may have in 12.3 and type in repos shown there into the URL field in, say, Firefox you will see that some of them DO have 13.1 in their name. Not all, but some. You may not use this repo but I do and if you type in download.videolan.org/pub/SuSE/13.1 you will get what is destined for the final of 13.1.

It has been this way since some releases, 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.

Nope. See below.

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.

I decided to "upgrade" RC1 to RC2 by using the RC2 DVD iso I downloaded a few days ago.
In doing so, the "upgrade" DELETED *all* of my existing repositories listed in YaST leaving the DVD as the only "repo".
Is this what is really supposed to happen?
BC
Is this the correct way to move from RC1 to RC2? When I installed RC1 on my laptop it set up repositories such as
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/ ... etc.
No mention of RC1 or RC2 in those paths.
I assumed that given the above repositories, zypper up would move my installation seamlessly through RC1 -> RC2 -> GM
Have I missed something?
Don't know.....
I had RC1 installed and I, too, had the above repos plus several others which I installed manually (eg, packman, videolan,....). I also "moved" effortlessly from RC1 up to RC2 on a daily basis using zypper.
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.
For me, the upgrade from RC1 to RC2 was 'sudo zypper up'. After I did that, I tried 'sudo zypper dup' that encountered some conflicts and was aborted. The repos are the standard 4 for 13.1. This method does not test installation from the media, but that was not my intent.
