How to – Upgrade OpenSuSE from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 or 15.3

How to – Upgrade OpenSuSE from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 or 15.3 is what will be covered in this brief tutorial. Just change the 15.2 to 15.3 in any of the steps below to switch to 15.3 instead.

Step 1 – Preparing for upgrade by enabling the proper repository

zypper modifyrepo --enable openSUSE-Leap-15.1-Update
zypper ref
zypper up

Step 2 – Change existing repo’s for the others

This next part will change the repo’s to 15.2 and then we will start the fun part.

files="$(zypper lr -u | awk -F'|' '$4 ~ /Yes/ { gsub (" ", "", $2); r="/etc/zypp/repos.d/"$2".repo"; print r }')"
for f in $files
do
  echo "Backup of $f saved to /root/ before patching it up ..."
  cp -f "$f" /root/
  sed -i 's+/leap/15.1+/leap/$releasever+' "$f"
  sed -i 's+15.1.1+15.2+' "$f"
  sed -i 's+15.1+15.2+' "$f"
done

Step 3 – Update and reboot

zypper --releasever=15.2 ref
zypper --releasever=15.2 dup
reboot

]Make sure you copy mod_php7.conf to php7.confor the dynportal and audiostore conf files will cause apache to have errors. You can do so with the following command:

cp /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php7.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/php7.conf

I hope this helps.
