Should any tumbleweed-user (besides adding&installing tumbleweed) add factory-addons instead?
I would not recommend mixing openSUSE:Factory and openSUSE:Tumbleweed, that's just as bad as mixing Factory with 11.3 or 11.4.
Now i'm completely lost.
Tumbleweed looks very nice indeed, but i what you say, is that i can neither use factory nor 11.3 nor 11.4?
So that means effectually that means that should install all addons, like asterisk or (apache) mod_auth_kerb from source?

Greg,
I know you're trying to avoid making Tumbleweed a full blown distro of it's own.
I think you need to differentiate that into how it appears to Zypper and how it appears to OBS. They use different paradigms and it feels like you are trying to force the zypper paradigm on the OBS platform.
For OBS I think it needs to be presented to the user similar to 11.3, 11.4, and factory.
ie. It should be in this list at OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/project/add_repository_from_default_list?project=...
It shows up if you click on the "pick one via advanced interface" link just fine.
Greg, it not only shows up just as any repo would, it shows up in a base distro neutral form. ie. 11.3 is not in the name. I did not realize that. In effect somehow Tumbleweed in OBS is already different from a typical sub project like development:languages:perl which has the base distro in the name. So I agree, my issue for building is already addressed. Although I personally would still like to see it in the main list, that can wait.
And when a user does a software search via OBS, it needs to be able to search for packages compiled for Tumbleweed, etc.
You can do that today as well.
I just built a test package against Tumbleweed, and I have to agree it shows up fairly cleanly in the search dialog. http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=sleuthkit&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.3&lang=en&include_home=true&exclude_debug=true ie. If you look at the second result in the above, it is clearly the Tumbleweed version. The only slight confusion is I had to put 11.3 in the pull down, but that too can wait to be addressed at a future time. Overall, I'm happier with how Tumbleweed interacts with OBS / OBS search than I thought I was. Hopefully I wasn't the only one confused.
