Upgrading to 15.1 from 15.0 with "KDE_framework5" and "KDE_qt5" packages

Hello,

I’m following the oss upgrade wiki to do this upgrade, and now I’m on the step “zypper dup”. It’s not too surprising to see that pages of conflicts questions are thrown at me about this vendor changes from KDE repos to OSS repos.

I wonder what are the proper way to do the upgrade in my situation, if I intend to have LEAP 15.1 with KDE_framework and KDE_qt5 packages after the upgrade.

My guess is that I now use “zypper dup --allow-vendor-change” to do the upgrade, then I enable the KDE repos of 15.1 and “zypper dup --from KDE*** --allow-vendor-change”.

Last time it was not easy either when trying to adding KDE repos on 15.0: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/535098-Trying-to-use-the-KDE_framework_5-and-KDE_Qt5-repo-but-getting-pages-of-conflict-questions

It seems not a good idea to have LEAP with KDE repos?

Did you try it with enabled and switched Url to Leap 15.1 for the qt5 and framework5 Repo for Leap 15.1

After you “zypper dup” with onlythe OSS and NON-OSS repos and their update repos enabled,
You should be able to just enable “zypper up” (not dup) with your KDE and other repos enabled… The defaults should automatically install the latest versions of everything no matter what repo they’re from. If a vendor change is suggested by the Maintainers, then you might be prompted to verify accepting the vendor change…

A “zypper dup --from repo” forces a vendor change regardless whether it’s recommended by the Maintainers, it’s up to you if you want to do that.

Its a pain to revert the packages from framework5 Repo to the OSS Repo…
That have cost me a Sunday afternoon…
Because of reverting without conficts…

Thanks for the answers. I just enabled the KDE repos as well as the bumblebee repo of 15.1, trying just “zypper dup”. I will see what happens…
