Step-by-step informs and drives the user to every action to perform:

1. Check the get.opensuse.org website for a new release;
2. update the packages to their last version;
3. check for the enabled repository URLs for the upgraded versions, otherwise, raise an error;
4. once all the enabled repositories are found, upgrade them;
5. start downloading the packages which upgrade the distribution and cache them;
6. once all the packages are downloaded upgrade the distro;
