Now come's one of the trickier parts:
The upudate repo is pointing to:
ftp://mirror.suse.de/update/10.1
What will happen when openSUSE 10.2 get's the 'stable' Distribution an
dwill thus be linked in place of 10.1?
Good question - Stano, have we taken care of this already?
No, we don't.
The normal online update is for continuous updates of your
_current_ system.
... but /pub/suse/update/10.1.42/ already exists (for 3 months now), with
an empty rpm directory and a "formally filled" repodata directory:
138 2006-06-13 13:32 filelists.xml.gz
134 2006-06-13 13:32 other.xml.gz
116 2006-06-13 13:32 patches.xml
170 2006-06-13 13:32 primary.xml.gz
1231 2006-06-13 13:32 repomd.xml

If you want to upgrade to the next release, you must
boot from CD1 and select 'upgrade distribution'. This will
disable all current repos and register the new update
repo.
Usually durinf the alpha/beta stage it is sufficient to select 'upgrade
distribution' from within, without booting.
We _might_ publish an optional 'upgrade patch' on 10.1 which disables
the update/10.1 repo and adds an update/10.2 repo. Selecting this
patch will then switch you to the new repo.
