+Repos: Stable or Version?
+-------------------------
+
+You may use either of the following repositories for ownCloud 9:
+
+`<https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud/>`_
+`<https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/9.0/owncloud/>`_
+
+When you use the Stable repo, you never have to change it as it always tracks 
+the current stable ownCloud version through all major releases: 8.2, 9.0, 
+and so on. (Major releases are indicated by the second number, so 8.0, 8.1, 
+8.2, and 9.0 were all major releases.)
+
+If you wish to track a specific major release, such as 8.2 or 9.0, then use 
+that repo. That way you won't accidentally find yourself looking at an upgrade 
+to the next major release before you're ready.
