Is this still a tested and proven scenario? Also what I read contradicting procedures about zypper dup from one distribution version to the next was, if one were to zypper update zypper itself first and only issue zypper dup as the last step or run the zypper from the still current distribution version.
Not really needed. You might want to download all in advance, just in case there is a network problem, external or internal, during the actual process.
Back several opensuse versions ago, there were also conflicting compression algorithms and stuff used in rpm if i recall correctly where you even had to update rpm to the next distribution version first as well and so on.
Not the case.
Any experiences yet? Also can we already zypper dup as the online repos except for the isos are already available and populated?
"zypper dup" is automatically tested as part of the "openqa" process. And humans have also done it often during the beta phase, so it works. However, read the docs. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
