Can a version upgrade be done entirely within YaST? Specifically: 1. amend all repositories from 15.1 to 15.2 2. use Online Update to do a "force update all"
1) can be done semi-automatic by using URLs like <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache/openSUSE_Leap_$releasever/> instead of the hardcoded "15.1" or "15.2" This also works with <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/$releasever/repo/oss/>
Also, can this be done from within a graphical session from a user account, should it be done when logged in as root, or should it be done strictly from a command line, but not logged into a graphical session?
Of course you cannot do this as a user. Managing packages requires root rights. Even when you are logged into your computer on a graphical interface as a user, you have to enter root's password to get into YaST (to get root's rights). I prefer doing this from the command line on a console, not inside a graphical environment. When the old packages are removed and the new ones are installed, the envoronment may simply crash. That leaves you in a nasty inconsistent state, and you have to start from the beginning, hoping that zypper will not be too confused to really do what needs to be done...
