Upgrade version in Leap
My question is if you can change version by downloading the iso of the new version and selecting "upgrade" in the Yast installer. Yes. However 15.6 is still in beta, therefore you don't have the release notes with the how tos needed in some version upgrade cases. If you have snapper up and running, I would suggest to: disable all the non official repos point to 15.6 the official ones log out form your desktop environment run a 'zypper dup` from a TTY reboot the system when the update is completed This way if you end up with a broken system, you can roll back. If you don't have snapper, make a clone of your disk by clonezilla, back up your data and update from 15.5 to 15.6. More on reddit.com

r/openSUSE on Reddit: Upgrade version in Leap
March 28, 2024 -

Hi, I have openSUSE Leap 15.5 installed on an old PC.

Can I upgrade to 15.6 when it comes out without having to do a new installation? What would be the best way to upgrade Leap?

I have read this entry in the wiki and it seems that you can deactivate the packman repository first.

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade

My question is if you can change version by downloading the iso of the new version and selecting "upgrade" in the Yast installer.

Thanks community.
