More abstract, you can adjust your installation source to some "release compatible" other sources, and then actualize everything with minimal interaction. So "update" is a better word then "upgrade".
If you have third party repositories, yast normally locks them. Can they be updated with "system update" without further action? Would eliminate one good reason to use apt.
Only if the third party repositories come with YasT2 metadata (like packman, usr-local-bin, suser-guru and more and more others), and if you have added them as installation sources. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
