openSUSE Factory and Tumbleweed to merge
The openSUSE project has announced
that the "Factory" and "Tumbleweed" distributions will merge into a single
rolling distribution (called "Tumbleweed"). There is also an FAQ posting about the merger. "With
the vast improvements to the Factory development process over the last 2
years, we effectively found ourselves as a project with not one, but two
rolling release distributions in addition to our main regular release
distribution. GregKH signalled his intention to stop maintaining Tumbleweed
as a 'rolling-released based on the current release'. It seemed a natural
decision then to bring both the Factory rolling release and Tumbleweed
rolling release together, so we can consolidate our efforts and make
openSUSE's single rolling release as stable and effective as
possible."
