Hello all,

Just a simple question: Is officially supported the network upgrade with a jump from versions ? Like 11.4 ---> 12.3 or similar. Or is always better upgrade without jumps? 11.4 -> 12.1 -> 12.2 -> 12.3 ....

Cordially,

Claudio. The only supported way is one version jump at a time.

In theory you can do as you suggest, but you risk having issues that no one else has seen.

fyi: If you don't know, the evergreen project is still backporting security fixes to 11.4. That will continue for another year or two.

Greg Only for testing: i have tested a live update from 11.4 to 12.3....result? Strange, 12.3 starts with systemV, and not systemD, and naturally the network don't startup automatically. Removing from yast systemvinit, it automatically installs systemd, and network starts correctly.

Other test: updated 11.4 to 12.3 from DVD, and the update is perfect! No problems at all. Cheers, Claudio. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Brave soul :-D , I'm glad that even an scenario that was most likely never tested, worked more or less fine... there is a very long way between 11.4 and 12.3 ..

Yes but not between 11.4 and 12.0 --> 12.1 --> 12.2 --> 12.3.

And don't be surprised by all of the nay sayers that insist on fresh installs at every step.

Long time without doing fresh install for upgrade.. the last few times I did it was for changing partition layout on disk..or changing the root filesystem type.

Neither one requires new install. Almost the only case when new installation is indeed required is changing distro :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah. strictly not required, however I did not bother doing it the hard way.. it is faster to backup and do a clean start :-P

It is is faster unless you have a lot of system services configured. Mail services, databases, etc. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
