Dear all,
I would love to use Factory, since I like to get the latest and greatest software. Before coming to openSUSE, I was an ArchLinux user. The main reason for coming to openSUSE was the quest to get a system with recent but stable software. Now I would like to test Factory and I have enough Linux experience to deal with occasional issues, but what I have seen worries me:
Factory currently offers a release candidate of the kernel (3.16.0-rc7). If Factory wants to stop being a development and test release, I think it is important to release only packages that have been declared stable by the upstream developers. Beta and RC are still testing versions and do not belong in a rolling release in my opinion.
Kind regards, Erwin

Once 3.16 is out, we will stick to released versions
Greetings, Stephan
How do we catch and fix bugs in stable releases that have migrated from -rc revisions? I have hit bugs in -rc's that singularly impacted me and thankfully were fixed upstream well before the "stable" release, bugs that would not have been caught early. They do occur the other way round where there is a bug in the stable release that is fixed in the next -rc. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
