These last few weeks have been very intensive days in the YaST team. Significant changes are coming to the SUSE and openSUSE worlds. Have you heard about SUSE ALP (Adaptable Linux Platform)? We are quite active in some discussions, research and workgroups about that topic. But, of course, we are continuing to work hard on YaST and on our D-Installer side project. So, let’s go with a summary of the most interesting features and fixes.
One-click Migration
Since openSUSE Leap 15.3, binary RPMs are shared between SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 and openSUSE Leap. Closing the gap between openSUSE and SUSE makes feasible the migration from openSUSE Leap to SLE without reinstalling the system completely. Migrating the system takes some steps, and sometimes manual intervention is required when the process goes wrong. Now, YaST offers a new client that simplifies the migration from openSUSE Leap to SLE, allowing to rollback the system in case that something fails.
