There is no need to re-install, simply make sure that the proper repos are configured and use 'zypper dup' to upgrade. When you go from one version of TW to a newer version you are actually doing a "distribution upgrade".
Not this discussion again, please. This is not longer true. It was true when Tumbleweed was based on a "static" release, but it isn't needed any longer since TW became a real rolling distribution. You need "zypper dup" only when upgrading from another version of openSUSE to Tumbleweed, as stated explicitly on <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_upgrade>. The recommended way to install TW can be read on <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation>. After installation of Tumbleweed and activating the repositories, a simple "zypper up" should suffice. It does for my installations. "zypper dup" will pull in packages from different repositories, only depending on their version number, and may introduce instabilities or lead to a lot of unfulfillable dependencies, which you have to resolve manually. So there is rarely any need to use it. Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
