Sorry but this is senseless. 13.2 received yesterday the out of support notice. It is deprecated and will not receive any updates or security updates. So you better fix the problem you have instead of searching for a new one.
No, its not senseless. After all, there are many other repositories that can deal with updates anyway, ignoring the official ones.
For example, I use the Kernel_Stable repository for my kernel updates rather than the official 13.2 repository. There also the Mozilla repository, language, LibreOffice and many more.
All those repos will stop producing things for 13.2 in a matter of weeks if not days.
Sorry, but I also think that installing 13.2 now is senseless, except for testing or proving a point.
It's senseless unless you want a machine that JUST works. I will be using the repos described above for my 13.2 installations for the foreseeable future. I installed Leap 42.2 this morning and it was a nogo for me. First, in the expert partitioning, for every partition I setup (ext4) upon completion the partitioner barfed and spit out some message about debugging the problem (experts only) and had to reenter the expert partitioning for each partition I set up. Fortunately my settings were not lost and I was actually allowed to set them up as I did in 13.2. Then I noticed I could get to no virtual consoles during the install or even after the install was complete and at the graphical login screen. What's up with that? Then when I logged in I get a black screen with a mouse cursor. Mouse buttons do nothing and had no desktop at all. Come on. Install problems? Dead machine after install? IMHO, Leap should be more stable than this. It's like I was back in the SuSE 7.0 days. No thanks.
