Been a while since I posted but I still am having problems upgadig fro 13.* to a spported system, all 64bit computes.
Latest stopper is a 13.2->Leap42.1 upgrade. i seem to be having troble writing DVDs at present so tried the online System upgrade as in the web page
Seemed OK untilI tried to refresh zypper with the new rep.d files. It asserted that relevant urls did not exist for them all
Managed to back off to 13.2 repos bt what shuold a Leap42.1 collection look like?
OTOH, you can also write the installation medium to an USB stick, no need to burn a DVD.
Or use the Netinstall CD (but that needs Internet access during the installation, as all packages are downloaded on demand).
Found a typo now correted. Now two reprs fail to refres – both having “type-rpm-md” in them. Tried removing that line and it complains it does not know te type
Not really.
It was advisable in the past to not skip a release because only upgrades from one version to the next were actually tested.
In the case of Leap 42.2, the situation is a bit different though.
Upgrades from 13.2 to 42.2 are tested as well (13.2 was still in support when 42.2 was released).
OTOH, 42.1 was actually a “downgrade” from 13.2 in some areas, as 13.2 was based on the latest Factory at the time of release…
