Why is there an i586 of TW, when there is no Leap i586? What's the point of testing it if no one can use it?
TW is not "testing", that is factory. And TW is not Leap XX.X.
TW = Factory
No, it's not. Factory is the development, TW the rolling release.
why do you think no one can use it?
I thought that TW was the testing place for packages which became part of the release version eventually.
It is, but not directly.
Wrong. It isn't. Not indirectly either
But both TW and Leap are releases. One rolling, the other fixed.
I guess I am confused.
Your confusion is normal and typical.
I guess. I have been using Tw for quite a few years as a productive environment, on 4 boxes. I have leap 42.2 as a server.
factory is the development environment, precursor to Tw. But basically they are the same. many packages appear on factory before release and then to Tw.
Factory is just an internal stage, it is not published. If RB is reading, he will soon tell you that factory does not exist.
The reason that there is no 32 bit Leap is because Leap takes its kernel from SLE, and there is no 32 bit SLE.
That's not the reason. Fact that so far no one has stepped up to take the challenge and do the job is.
SLE derives directly from Factory after much testing and fixing. Leap takes the core from SLE, and adds about 60% from TW.
