Following along in my line of “Readers Digest” versions of the official Opensuse upgrades procedures<\/a>, (here are a couple of my past ones: 11.1<\/a>, 11.2<\/a>, 11.4<\/a>) here’s the latest for upgrading in-place from 11.4 to 12.1:<\/p>\n

zypper modifyrepo --all --disable\r\nzypper addrepo --name \"openSUSE-12.1 OSS\" http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/distribution\/12.1\/repo\/oss\/ repo-12.1-oss\r\nzypper addrepo --name \"openSUSE-12.1 Non-OSS\" http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/distribution\/12.1\/repo\/non-oss\/ repo-12.1-non-oss\r\nzypper addrepo --refresh --name \"openSUSE-12.1 Updates\" http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/update\/12.1\/ repo-12.1-update\r\nzypper ref\r\nzypper dup --download \"in-advance\"<\/pre>\n
I like to use the “in-advance<\/code>” setting so I can be sure all the packages are downloaded before the upgrade begins.\u00a0 You just never know when there might be a power outage…<\/p>\n
Of course, if you were using alternative repos, you might want to add those back too.\u00a0 For instance, if you had the google-chrome repo, you’d enter this command to re-enable it:<\/p>\n
zypper mr -e google-chrome<\/code><\/p>\n
…you can find the rest of your disabled repos (from the first step above) with this command:<\/p>\n
zypper sl<\/code><\/p>\n
You might want to remove your disabled 11.4-based repos, since you no longer need them. So based on the list from the command above, you can remove them in one command.\u00a0 Here’s the command I used to remove all my 11.4 repos (your repos may be different!):<\/p>\n
zypper rr Updates-for-openSUSE-11.4-11.4-0 openSUSE-11.4-11.4-0 repo-debug repo-debug-update repo-non-oss repo-source<\/pre>\n
Enjoy your upgraded machine!<\/p>\n
