More specifically, what do I have to do to set up the repositories for keeping Leap 15.3 properly updated (when I get around to installing it, that is)?
If you download the ISO image and write it to a USB stick, you won't have to do anything except click a few radio buttons. Grab the network install image, and when you boot to it, choose "update" instead of "new installation". During the update process, you will be asked to confirm if you want to keep or delete all your previous repositories -- the default is to delete them. You can let the update process remove/replace all the openSUSE repos, but may wish to keep others you've installed, such as Packman. If you keep any, you will need to edit them to make sure the URLs reflect the version upgrade. If you choose instead to use zypper for the upgrade (zypper dup....), you will need to edit all the repo URLs yourself.
Is that general advice how 15.3 suppose to be installed these days - after the announcement? Boot network image and update instead of install? I did not get the comment about keeping repositories - from the installation media? Do I need to install 15.2 first for this new 15.3 installation process to work? That certainly would be significant change worth describing in detail on the ISO download page. -T
