[opensuse] zypper dup leap 42.3 to 15.0, does it work?
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. 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. Any experiences yet? Also can we already zypper dup as the online repos except for the isos are already available and populated?

Of course https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/677528

That should be unnecessary in this case. It was only necessary when there were significant changes to the zypper stack and it was necessary to ensure you had upgraded zypper on your old version in order to be able to properly upgrade to the new version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Tia.
For me, even 42.2 to 15 worked fine. I took a backup. Didn't need it. Some extra stuff that I didn't have previously got installed, but I simply uninstalled it. It was sort of Tex packages, about 30 of them. Nothing depended on them. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

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.

Not the case.

"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)
