I am considering doing an upgrade of my 11.1 system to an 11.2 system with zypper dup. I have these questions:
1) Are there any assumptions about what is installed on 11.1? I have moved some things to use more recent things, like a newer evolution, or KDE. They are from the OBS. I think they are probably the same as will be in 11.2. I know these repos will be removed as part of the update.
2) Is it possible to get a listing of what would be done, without it actually happening? I do not know what I expect to see in the listing, but maybe something will make me a little more confident about doing the update.
3) Should I be able to turn on the flag to tell that all things should be downloaded first, then changes to the system can happen? If so, how do I enable that flag?
I see that there isn't a link to http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2 at the http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade site but the former one is what you need. It has a bit more information and has been updated by people actually doing the upgrade. What I would do though and this isn't official, is manually edit all of my .repo files in /etc/zypp/repos.d to change them from 11.1 to 11.2. The important factor when upgrading from 11.1 to 11.2 is that the rpm version has changed from 4.4 to 4.7 and your entire installation system is dependent on rpm. If you use zypper dup you should take care of what is going to be removed in the summary before the actual upgrade is performed. Kde3 is no longer in the main 11.2 distribution and if you wish to keep it you will need to add the following repo :- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.2/ although kde4.3 works very well.
