Hello List mates,

For openSUSE 13.1 Milestone 1. Do I switch the repos to Factory Snapshot or Factory?

Cheers!

Please disregard. It has been resolved.

<Groan> So *how* exactly has it been 'resolved'? I just installed 13.1 so I want to know the answer.

When "later"? :-) I have 13.1 installed as I stated from the repo you mention above and all the repos showing in YaST are for 12.3. (In fact, 12.3 is shown when installing ML#1 and not 13.1.)

one can go with factory snapshots that have no missing packages due to lag in packaging, or publishing process.

YaST at any given point in development time can't be expected to be up to date, while the booted system will report whatever version the last installed openSUSE-release package wrote to /etc/os-release.

Do you understand what "snapshot" means? In the case of Factory, it's simply been forked at a particular point in time when the devs feel either brokenness is low, so that an installation can proceed without unsurmountable missing dependencies, or it just can't wait any longer without bombing the roadmap. Once installed, nothing in an installation will change as a result of attempting to update until either one of three things happens:

1-the previous snapshot is replaced with a newer one, or

2-an update installation is performed, or

3-the repo URLs in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ are changed to point somewhere other than factory-snapshot.

If you want to run factory instead of factory-snapshot so you can upgrade to latest available packages, broken or not, then all that needs doing is s/factory-snapshot/factory/g on the plain text files contained in /etc/zypp/repos.d/.

If you really want to help with bug testing for Milestone 1 I would suggest Factory Snapshot. - Cheers! Roman ------------------------------------------------------- openSUSE -- Get it! Discover it!
