Hi guys,
I updated my tumbleweed machine today (have not done so in a week or
so?), and got an error, as the Tumbleweed repo for openSUSE:Tools was
no longer existing.
Apparently it is now called ".../openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_Factory/"
and builds against openSUSE:Factory/snapshot.
Any reason why this is no longer called Tumbleweed? When adding repos
to my home project I always get a repo called Tumbleweed, that builds
against openSUSE:Factory/snapshot.
I know, technically it is the same, but it is not helping with the
whole factory-or-tumbleweed naming confusion...

someone created that for some time, but I did not want to have double

Can't you just use an _aggregate if you really want to have
both "Tumbleweed" and "Factory"? Saves the rebuild..

re: "without a big problem", some or most of us silently dealt with the

though they are advertized as so.
If.. a factory repo is supposed to equate to Tumbleweed, why not call it
Tw and thost factory repos that are more testing/staging grounds remain
with factory labels. The factory/Tw situation is confusing, in that *if*
factory equals Tw, why not call it all factory or tw, or at least install
redirection that defines Tw apart from factory?

No Tumbleweed IS Factory, but only after it has been through openQA and
then published as a "snapshot".
We do not publish Factory anymore for users to install from, but it
available for devel repos to build against.

Yes, a very nice short (and correct) explanation.
but tumbleweed = factory is a *different* meaning.
tw is a "qualified" factory.
a tw user who does not understand the differenct will/can break his system
using factory:standard packages
That might happen yes.
However in the case of openSUSE:Tools it will not apply, since we know
it builds against snapshot.
The real issue is that users for whatever reason seem to think they
need to add massive amounts of devel repos to their TW install, just
because they can, and having repos named Tumbleweed seem to encourage
them to do this even more.
In my opinion discouraging this is a "good thing", but if users insists
on making problems for themselves, there is not much we can do.
Devel repos are (mainly) for development, and can and will break end-
users systems at various times unless they are careful with what they
install from them, no matter if they are named Factory, Tumbleweed or
"Super stable repo".

For the sake of clarity to end users this repo should IMHO be called
openSUSE_Tumbleweed. This is confusing even to regulars like Patrick,
and it's even worse to less experienced users.
