All, yes, I also found it strange that a rolling release uses a update directory. But I am not that well informed.
Also, I checked too, and yes the URL is rewritten. Something Yast2 is not picking-up.
Still I see (among others) mozilla updates on distros which are not found in either factory or tumbleweed.
Ah, well. I think I just wait some time until tumbleweed start rolling again. If not, go back to 13.2 and use packman for the newer packages.
Tw is working, constantly. Although full versions are only issued when ready and that has been anywhere from two days to two weeks, incremental updates do appear several times every day and you are not restricted to only oss and non-oss repos as some of the packages that intrest you may be other places, such as: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/photo/openSUSE_Factory... which will become: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/photo/tumbleweed/
fwiw, on my system firefox is updated from http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss
which should be the Tw OSS repo (or will be shortly). http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/
The newer packages are on Tw
Ok, thanks. It seems that TW is not fully operational. The thing is that I prefer TW instead of factory, because I understood that TW is the "more stable" version of factory and factory is a testing ground.
Did you read <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed> after 13.2 was released? And <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Tumbleweed_Merger>? And you still did not answer the question which packages are older in tumbleweed than in 13.2. Werner --
