But you see that the build is disabled for snapshot repo for the most 
packages
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory

This means it is freezed to a former state of factory.

No, you can also build against "standard" and the other ones.

I don't know how exactly the 13.1 project is configured but I know that 
(currently) the 13.1 (rc1) download repo is just a redirect to 
factory-snapshot, see
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss

Yes but snapshot repo is still freezed.
