I already proposed several solutions in the OP. They all are geared toward preventing users from falling into the same trap that I did. Trying to make zypper dup actually work across multiple releases would be much harder and is not something I have ever suggested.
But zypper has no idea how many distribution versions it is jumping across. You change the repos, then you tell it to upgrade packages. In fact, you can change the repos to an older release, tell it to upgrade the distribution, and it will happily do the upgrade, which is in fact a downgrade. It is the administrator who has to know what he is doing ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)
