Development machine updates: 42.2 -> 42.3

English Install/Boot/Login

Fellow coders and programmers:

I have my main development machine on 42.2 and since most programmers/coders will know the problems inherent with opensuse software versioning/dependencies I have decided to ask a very simple question. (I had the biggest headache updating from 32-bit 13.2 to 64-bit 42.2).

When/if I do an offline upgrade from 42.2 to 42.3 will any of my main custom software configurations be changed such as Apache/MySql/Python?

(I already recognize the problem with the NVIDIA graphics card driver-settings.)

Simple example: will my Apache local dev settings (conf/vhost) be overwritten causing me to have to reset them?

Would it be better to do a live-upgrade in this case? In terms of computing I have become very conservative with my time/resources. I need a new computer anyway and could merely wait to get a new one and upgrade/install fresh then.

Thanks.

I’ve had fewer headaches with online upgrades than offline. From 42.2 to 42.3 I only ever did onlines. I can’t remember ever having my Apache settings fouled either. There are only a few plain text config files involved, right (I don’t use MySql or Python)? Those could be restored from backup, or from *.rpmsave or *.Yast2save versions left behind by the upgrade process if it modified them.
