«Starting with openSUSE 11.2, a live upgrade from the prior version is officially supported.»
It says "from the prior version". It should be clearer, but it is there :-}
"Supported" here means tested. It should also work from older versions, but nobody tests it and thus something may break. The last update I did was from 12.1 to 12.3, and it worked well.
Bottom line: you should only skip versions if you have enough knowledge to repair things that broke.
The /var/run -> /run move in a live system was an issue we fixed for the 12.3 -> 13.1 transition, but not for 12.2.
No, it was never fixed, unfortunately, because we never did it in a
release distribution :(
We should still move /var/run to a symlink to /run but I was never able
to have it working properly, during a live install.
Help welcome..
