Seems i've misunderstood what Tumbleweed is all about. I assumed it was a rolling release and was to be identified by having Tumbleweed in the names of the repos to make it easy to find them. I've now changed it the LO repo to Factory so it gives me a confusing array of repo names. Aren't standards a wonderful idea, i hope that one day we can stick to one.
In order to stay current on LO while using Tumbleweed, you only need the plain-main Tumbleweed repositories. You do not need any repo with Tumbleweed or Factory on the name, because plain Tumbleweed should contain basically the same LO version. Currently Tumbleweed is just factory after passing a battery of automated tests. And projects like LO at oS normally pass all they make to the factory repository. My understanding is that the purpose of the LO-factory repo is mostly for users of the stable releases (oS 13.1 and 13.2) to test and use the newest and untested version of LO, basically the same one that TW users like you get, while the rest of the distribution remains older. IMHO, the LO-factory repo should be named differently, like LO-testing, or shiny, or newest or something. If you look in a browser at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Factory/ you see: [DIR] Parent Directory - [DIR] SLE_11_SP3/ 13-Jan-2015 14:34 - [DIR] SLE_12/ 13-Jan-2015 14:17 - [DIR] openSUSE_13.1/ 13-Jan-2015 17:50 - [DIR] openSUSE_13.2/ 13-Jan-2015 15:55 - [DIR] openSUSE_Factory/ 17-Jan-2015 04:54 - See? The word "factory" doesn't have the same meaning on both lines.
