I managed to install 12.1 Beta yesterday. Runs quite good. But there is one issue, which bothers me: YaST does not show any new packages to update and also “package → update all packages” does not provoke any reaction. When I do a “zypper up” it tells me that the activated repositories are too old.
But where do I get new information about new repositories from? I googled, searched in the Suse wiki… did not find anything about a change in the repos. So is this a bug, or am I just “too limited” (brain-wise) to find the right information?
Would be great if someone could shade some light on this!

What do you want to accomplish? It is common for no updates to be published for
the MSx, etc. series. If you want to do a rolling update from Beta 1 to
whatever, then you need to disable the repos that were set up during the
installation and install the Factory repos. The two you would need are
You should be aware that Factory is not always in a consistent state. In
addition, things that are broken may get committed. I did an update yesterday
that broke systemd, which had been working OK.
no, I just thought that also the Beta will get regular updates. That´s it. Just updating to the most current state, no rolling update from Beta to whatever and I was a bit confused that there is nothing…
So it seems like ok. The system is running quite well, btw.

Nobody reads nothing!!! Wait - that is a double negative. Everybody (almost)
reads nothing.
to find the right information?
