The upgrade method from official wiki doesn't work (Leap 15.1 -> 15.2)

[nuklly]

On the official wiki (https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade), the system upgrade from 15.1 to 15.2 requires replacing the string "15.1" to "15.2" in all the /etc/zypp/repo.d files.

However, in my 15.1 system, there is no literal "15.1" in the repo's URL, for example, the OSS repo:

baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/$releasever/repo/oss/

Is the system upgrade guide on the wiki staled. If I don't want to replace the $releasever variable in the repo file, how could I upgrade the system to Leap 15.2?

Hi
I would switch to a tty (or use screen), switch (su -) or login to the tty as root user and run the following....

zypper --releasever 15.2 dup

Thank you! This solves my problem. Note that other repositories (e.g., Packman and nvidia) still requires manual string replacement.
The upgrade guide on the official wiki still needs a fix though.

It is a Wiki, isn't it?

I edited "/etc/zypp/repos.d/packman.repo", and replaced "15.1" by "$releasever".

And then I used the suggested upgrade with "--releasever=15.2". It worked very well. I'll note that I did this in a virtual machine. On my real machine, I did a clean install of 15.2.

When I last checked, the repo for 'libdvdcss" was not yet up for Leap 15.2, so I disabled that repo before the upgrade.

I don't have nvidia hardware, so I could not check that. But it probably works the same way with "$releasever".

And a note for those into virtualization. I have a VM with Leap 15.1 (using KVM). So I cloned that, and then upgraded the clone. The nice thing about doing it with a clone, is that I can repeat it. I first tested this early in the 15.2 cycle. And I tested again last week. I'll keep my Leap 15.1 virtual machine for testing, until end-of-life for 15.1. I have Leap 15.2 in a separate VM, where I have been testing it since the alpha release stage.

Hi
For libdvdcss just rebuild the src rpm locally.....

It’s not in official wiki.
Nothing in the wiki about third party repositories
How to edit "/etc/zypp/repos.d/packman.repo" and replace "15.1" by "$releasever" ?
with YaST ? Or command line ?

Thank you

You could do

sudo sed -i 's/15.1/$releasever/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/packman.repo

See the result...

cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/packman.repo

BTW, to change all such repos

sudo sed -i 's/15.1/$releasever/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo

Thank you

Maybe someone can change the official wiki?
I don't write English very well.
I use translators...

Ok, I've added the pertinent info to the wiki page.
