What about disabling non-openSUSE distro repos for the dup and then enabling them for a zypper up after the dup?
When I duped to 15.1 with all repos enable I had vendor changes that caused issues (specifically qt3 and others were pulled from packman instead of OSS/Update that caused fits until the change was discovered)
The intent being to dup to the next release with OSS/Update enabled (and any source/debug repos needed) and then update all the peripheral packages.
Necessary?
Probably depends on admin's experience level, and actual repos involved. URLs for those I typically have for /any/ dup are: Enabled: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSEblahblah/ Disabled: http://silk.apana.org.au/rpm-opensuseblahblah-unstable-dev fcl http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSEblahblah/ libdvdcss2 Any time I have something installed from outside openSUSE or Packman, I normally lock the package and/or disable its repo. All my most used web browsers come from their creators sites from single archive files and live in /usr/local/, so are usually unaffected by distribution upgrades. I never have NVidia enabled, almost never Chrome, and rarely have any but the above enabled, so I really don't need to think about it as the times come. IMO, pretty much any other enabled would be cause to expect unnecessary trouble. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
