In the past the snapshot repo was created (AFAIK) to reduce the number
of rebuilds triggered by changes in the Factory/standard repo.

However this is no longer the case. The snapshot repo seems to be
updated as soon as that the Factory/standard repo is being published
and this causes>
Actually all of openSUSE:Factory - including all product builds have to
be finished and 2 hours passed before it's cloned. But this can easily
mean twice a day yes.

I made that 40 hours now and we can extend it even longer, but most
often I update then manually because someone complains that certain bug
fixes are "not in Factory" - and building against standard repo creates
a lot of load on the schedulers.

And how it works for openSUSE:Factory:NonFree? The snapshot repo has
been with a broken cg package for... years? (it requires "libGLU.so",
which isn't provided by anything, it's fixed in the standard repo).

just don't use snapshot repo there. I now made it an empty wrapper around
standard wrapper.

BTW: I changed the logic for updating the snapshot. It will now wait
for KDE:Distro:Factory, KDE:KDE3, X11:XOrg, GNOME:Factory and
openSUSE:Factory:Live to be published before snapshotting.

I hope that will still happen often enough.

Greetings, Stephan
