Factory was last published on Oct 8; And as long as there will be checkins happening in order to fix bugs, there will be packages building and publishing won't happen.
The repository is ~ 7000 source packages. Publishing only happens when all of them are completed.
Meaning: openSUSE:Factory is useless as a continuous integration & delivery vehicle, and for testing. "Yay." Or publishing needs to happen incrementally, while trying to apply more heuristics to avoid unnecessary rebuilds (those w/o ABI/API changes)?
You're facing the typical Factory issue: the repositories cannot all be synced against each other and once in a while there are issues like this. Building against releases is easier from that PoV.
If Factory is that unusable, there needs to be a way to build against the published snapshot at the very least.
Also, things like kernel modules are much more fragile, as they have those hard version requirements.. Most other packages are much less specific in the required versions.
The hard version dependencies replaced the more dynamic kABI-based symbols. That appears to be a huge step backwards for this case.
