For 10.3 you can use

When you install Firefox 3.0 from this repo, how are ongoing security updates handled? Does Yast and YOU push out updates, or we one check the repo manually from time to time for updates?
The online update won't look at it, because there are no patchinfo files, so you have to check it yourself manually
Just do "zypper lu -t package" to see what's available across all your repos, or, to just get the updates from one repository, do "zypper lu -t package -r <repository number>" where the number is the one listed on the left when you do "zypper sl"
Or do it through the YaST GUI :)

I suspected as much. Thanks for clearing this up. In the case of Firefox, checking the repo manually is normally not a problem. So many other machines get firefox updates I usually know when one is out. This may not be the case for smaller less used packages. I any case I know what to do now.
Does anyone know if opensuse plans on adding Firefox 3 to opensse 10.3, or leaving it at 2.x?
