ok, that's two answer... the name is reported in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913561 and is basically a remaining for the not that old fact that Factory was 'renamed' to the outside to be called Tumbleweed (which was a slight different approach before).
The /update channel is actually there to 'never be used'. It's a channel 'of last resort' in the unlikely case that we have some breakage in the Factory repositories, which makes it impossible to publish, yet we have a security update that we want to distribute to users in a much shorter time. in THIS constellation we would publish the security update in the update channel. Once Factory can be published again, the update channel would be cleaned out as well.
Got it. Thanks a lot Dominique! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
