Command line interface for interacting with Tumbleweed snapshots.
The latest stable version can be installed from the main OSS repository.
zypper in tumbleweed-cli
See tumbleweed --help for reference. To get started utilizing snapshots:
tumbleweed init
The repos can be verified by ensuring that the URLs contain a snapshot version.
zypper lr -EUP
zypper refresh && zypper dup will no longer be the method for updating as the
repos will point to static snapshot versions. All other zypper operations will
behave the same. At any point tumbleweed uninit will return the repositories
to their original state.
Some common examples are as follows.
# present latest, target, and installed snapshot versions
tumbleweed status
# update to latest
tumbleweed update
# target 1234 snapshot and install
tumbleweed switch --install 1234
# list available snapshots
tumbleweed list
# target previous snapshot and install
tumbleweed revert --install
# list history of snapshots targeted
tumbleweed history
To operate more manually, the following is equivalent to tumbleweed update.
# switch to latest
tumbleweed switch
zypper ref
zypper dup
The repo URLs are effectively the only part of the libzypp configuration that
is being changed. This keeps the workflow changes to a minimum.
