Mailinglist Archive: opensuse-security (8 mails)

[Marcus Meissner <meissner@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The mailinglist is fed by two hermes feeds, the SLE security and
the openSUSE security one.

It additionally got our Security Advisories, but we are phasing these
out in favor of the Security Notices.

So you can use the Hermes feed for the Forum.

Ciao, Marcus
