I am still puzzled by the fact that little if nothing is ever said about Tumbleweed in this HELP list.
If I recall correctly, Richard stated some time ago that Tumbleweed is now an official release just like Leap and no longer needs to be 'discussed' in Factory.
I am not subscribed to Factory so don't know if TW is still talked about there but it certainly is not mentioned here -- and TW just simply cannot so perfect that it has no problems which need airing :-). Tw for the most part is discussed on opensuse-factory, not opensuse.
We know that Patrick, probably learned it here on this list by seeing people chased away like mangy dogs for having the sand to ask a TW question here.
The question is WHY is this the case if TW is an official release? because it is closely related to development and to factory. Tw is a stable release but it is also the development platform for the next Leap.
If that is the case then surely it should be called Leap xx.Alpha1 or Leap xx.Alpha2 but not Tumbleweed? Nor should it have been given the imprimatur of being an official release. And if, as you claim, that TW is a test bed for the next release of Leap<whateveritiscalled> then the advice given to the OP was totally inappropriate and he should have been told to stay away from TW.
