In the past I've always performed a new install of opensuse. This time I'd like to try an update. Can anyone advise me as to what pitfalls I might encounter? Thanks for any advice
I have many original installs over many years subsequently upgraded only using zypper, among which several going straight from 13.1, 13.2, 42.1, 42.2 or 42.3 to 15.0. The last two I did, less than two weeks ago, were from 42.2 directly to 15.0, and 42.1 directly to 15.0. I do it in steps: 1-zypper clean 2-edit /etc/zypp/repos.d/* changing 42.2 to 15.0 in each of *.repo 3-zypper ref 4-zypper -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm openSUSE-release 5-zypper -v in --download-in-advance device-mapper dmraid glibc lvm2 multipath-tools mdadm systemd udev 6-zypper -v dup 7-zypper pa --unneeded 7-zypper rm <unneededpackages> -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
