Well yes, obviously, a cold upgrade has to work :)
I didn't miss the hot upgrade part. But, from what I read above, you're basically saying that it may (will ?) not work for people who shall upgrade a running 10.3 to 11.0 (using yast2's system upgrade, zypper, smart, whatever).
Or did I miss something there ? There's a difference between "should know what they are doing" and not possible at all.
Unless, of course, there's a documented way of performing that upgrade -- e.g. upgrading rpm from 10.3's to 11.0's first, then doing the rest. Would that work ?
yes, this should work. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
