- Is there a reference on how to use Factory?

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.

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

If bugs are found, how/where to send the patch/pull request?

huh.. you must be really new here.. start here:

sure - I am.

- 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.

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.

Got it!

Are there

release cycles?

Yes

I meant the packages, not the version release. But its clear. .

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.

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.

Hello, As there are no iso's after 18-Sep-2013.
