4- zypper dup It looks at vendor strings and doesn't changes between vendors, but it ignores repository priorities. Not a big problem right now, but I would like to have a fix for 11.0 before people starts updating to 11.1.
Well, zypper dup is not a "official" way to upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1. You might be lucky, but that's it (but if it does not work, it is always interesting to hear about that, so we can try to fix the issue).
I think this is a problem. I do not think that online upgrades need to be officially supported, but the lack of official support is always used as an excuse to not even attempt to get it to work every single release. People are put off from running openSUSE on servers by being told that it's not possible to upgrade between versions remotely even when it is, and they are put off when it requires expert knowledge to do it. It basically means that openSUSE is not an option to run on a server without physical access. All the other major distributions manage to provide working online upgrades, even if they are not recommended or supported, is openSUSE's package management so inferior? ;) -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
