[opensuse-factory] JFYI: Factory ftp stream and media changes
Hi, we did a small, but important change in OBS these days. Michael added support for all the ftp trees and product medias (installation DVD, CD, network install media) generation now with the tools, which are checked into the project. This means kiwi, inst-source-utils and friends for generating Factory are used from openSUSE:Factory project. While the openSUSE 11.2 media generation will use the tools from openSUSE:11.2 This makes us more robust and we can actually develop for example the kiwi tool, which creates all these medias without the fear that we break eg. openSUSE 11.1 media creation. As a side effect you may have noticed that our factory ftp tree had incorrect meta data, which was fixed meanwhile. The nice thing about this is that we will notice this hopefully before submitting broken packages to Factory in future. Just like with all the other packages, which should first build in devel projects. This is quite a big change internally, so please speak up when you notice some not explainable change, which is caused maybe by this.

Adrian, you're late ;-) FWIW, I did update my notebook last night as soon as the metadata was correct again from plain FACTORY repo and it also worked fine.
