Hi,
currently I am doing my first steps with OBS and have a question about publishing for Tumbleweed.
In my home project (home:hendwolt) there are repositories for openSUSE 13.1, 13.2 and Tumbleweed and my package (freerdp 1.2.4) gets build for all three.
When I search for the package at the software download page (https://software.opensuse.org/package/freerdp) I see my version for os 13.1 and 13.2 but not for Tumbleweed.
A test with another repository, that does not exist any more, showed, that I need to enable publishing for “openSUSE:Factory” to see it at the download page for Tumbleweed.
Is this a bug or a feature?
I would expect to see the package published for Tumbleweed, if I configure it to be published for Tumbleweed and not Factory (whatever the difference may be).

Seems to be a bug in the search page.
Click on “Also show versions for unsupported distributions” at the bottom, and you’ll find “openSUSE Tumbleweed” and your package.
I would expect to see the package published for Tumbleweed, if I configure it to be published for Tumbleweed and not Factory (whatever the difference may be).
There is no difference, except for the name.
Factory is the same as Tumbleweed on OBS, the latter is an alias for “Factory:snapshot” which is a weekly snapshot of Factory (not to be confused with Tumbleweed snapshots).
There is (currently) no way to build against the published/released Tumbleweed.

Confusing.
One example of a package version available in both Tumbleweeds:
Thirst openSUSE Tumbleweed:

–> Is Factory.
Second (“unsupported distribution”) openSUSE Tumbleweed:

Should I file a bug report? (where)
Hi
But it’s neither the development or official release, it’s a home repo,
ping the repo owner.

Yeah, it would seem the package search shows packages from a repo named “openSUSE_Factory” under the “official” Tumbleweed, and packages from “openSUSE_Tumbleweed” as the unsupported/unknown “Tumbleweed” repo.
IOW, apparently the software search doesn’t know about “openSUSE_Tumbleweed”, it only knows “openSUSE_Factory” (and knows that this is actually Tumbleweed).
As I wrote already: there is no difference between openSUSE_Factory and openSUSE_Tumbleweed on OBS. The latter is just an alias for the former.
It is not possible at all to build packages for/against the released Tumbleweed.
