Hello Richard, Can you please tell how to add the repositories? Is it OK to follow this? http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_installation Thanks to everyone who made it happen.

Hello Everyone, i have a question about the new Factory and the stable release: how does the stable release come out? I don't understand how and when we decide that the Factory is enough stable to release while the Factory itself keeps rolling. Do we have to follow a roadmap with the classics features freeze and translations freeze?

As I understand it there will be a parallel development phase for the nice, stable, frozen openSUSE releases in a separate branch/project/repo/whatever.

I don't think the details are fully decided yet at all. But I would expect the openSUSE release will just be branched off Factory at a more or less random time, maybe 8-10 weeks or so prior to the planned openSUSE release date.

Once I'm back from vacation, it will get serious. :)

If all goes according to plan Factory will already be in quite good shape at that point, and hopefully the community will care about the frozen releases and make a serious effort for polishing and stabilizing it during the parallel phase. In the end we could get even better openSUSE releases than before.
