[opensuse] updating 13.2 RC1 to final release
I was thinking of throwing 13.2 RC1 on a redundant old laptop to test a couple of things. I'd be wanting to update it to the final release when it's ready. Can that be acheived merely by doing a zypper dup? This may be harking back to some dark age, but I recall in the past it wasn't always so straight-forward to update a beta or RC to the final release, and there was even advice against trying to go about it that way. Are there still any pitfalls to be aware of? Cheers, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, if the repositories are correct. -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Same thing I've been wondering. I'm planning to upgrade from 12.3 to 13.2, but I will probably nuke and start over due to the size of the jump. I have 13.2 downloaded and was going to try it in a Virtual machine rather than install it natively just yet. It upgrading to final would be guaranteed to work I might be tempted. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
