http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Change_from_12.1_to_Tumbleweed
Greg, that page was created less than a month ago.
And more importantly, it was not announced in any way shape or form that I can find via google.
It was in the tumbleweed section of the announcement http://news.opensuse.org/2011/11/16/opensuse-12-1-all-green/ It is also in the product guidelines.
Nor does the main tumbleweed portal page have a link to it.
Good point, please add it.
The newly birthed page says that openSUSE_current repo was created specifically to ease the 11.4 => 12.1 transition (as well as future transitions).
Yep.
That is really nice and I'm happy it was done, but an announcement here on factory where Tumbleweed is supported seems like the minimum that could have been done to get the word out that there was a new recommended repo management strategy for Tumbleweed.
True, that would have made a lot of sense. Looks like neither Greg KH nor me thought of that. Sorry for that. Luckily it won't happen again :D
