[opensuse-factory] (Written tongue-in-cheek) OK, I know that I am very difficult to confuse, but this re TW has me confused......
In PORTAL-TUMBLEWEED- https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed there is this statement: quote Tumbleweed is based on Factory, openSUSE's main development codebase. Tumbleweed is updated once Factory's bleeding edge software has been integrated, *stabilized* and *tested*. Tumbleweed contains the latest stable applications and is ready for daily use. [My emphasis] unquote But then in the README.FIRST, found in the repository- http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ it is stated that quote These ISO files are published automatically once a new snapshot finished. They haven't seen any kind of testing before publishing, so download on your own risk and cost. Most of the time they work, but there are times when they are broken. unquote Who would like to explain this apparent contradiction?

me me me! REAME.FIRST hasn't seen an update in a looooong time - it's still the old traditional 'Factory' warning... at that point, it was true that there was no testing at all. The texts should be updated to reflect modern times.
