Hi, Honestly, its the first time I use Factory but plan on using it from here on. A few questions if I may: - Is there a reference on how to use Factory? How often it gets updates? If bugs are found, how/where to send the patch/pull request? - I use the following Repos. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/ but I haven't noticed updates since Beta 1 was released. Are there release cycles? If so, I assume I would need to have plenty repos from OBS to test packages before they are released. Is this process documented anywhere? If there is something obvious and that the usual openSUSE user knows but is not documented, please feel free to chime in :) Thanks, Alejandro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Not that I am aware of.
How often it gets updates?
ask pom(6) for that answer ;-) seriously, updates are relased every time a package is checked in. If bugs are found, how/where to send the patch/pull request? huh.. you must be really new here.. start here: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Development

Correct, during development , 13.1 points to the most recently released milestone, if you want to use factory you have to use.. /factory/repo at the same host. Are there
release cycles?
Yes. If so, I assume I would need to have plenty repos from
OBS to test packages before they are released.
No, you just need the factory repo. -- "If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in." - Edsger Dijkstra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

There are different release cycles for projects, It was a serious question. Thanks for clarifying.

Got it!
Are there
release cycles?
Yes
I meant the packages, not the version release. But its clear. .

No, you just need the factory repo.
thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Was it clear that there is a pure factory repo that gets updates more or less continuously and there is a milestone repo that only gets updated per the roadmap's timeline. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap You are currently using the milestone repo, so expect updates to be every couple weeks unless you change to the true factory repo's. Also Coolo (the release manager) is a little ahead and this activity has already happened: 2013-10-01: Start of Maintenance - Distro is branched in OBS - Maintenance accepts 13.1 updates, Factory packages do not end up in 13.1 automatically anymore - Factory unfrozen At least for now it seems safer to say Factory is semi-frozen. Coolo has asked that SRs that break things not be sent to factory for now, but post 13.1 SRs can be sent. The methodology is evolving, so some fixes won't hit the 13.1 repos until the RC1 release, but others apparently are going to come out via the updates repo. This is the first time I remember the updates repo going live before the release going Gold, so I don't know how that will play out.

It could be said that major components have release cycles, KDE and GNOME for example, others.. not really. -- "If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in." - Edsger Dijkstra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
