Hallo.
I am thinking again about a correct way to notify users about "must see"
advisory, which may appear for some security updates.
It typically happens for opensc and I need to display: "Package update
is not sufficient. Please follow following instructions to make your
crypto tokens secure..."
It should be displayed:
- On security updated
- In OBS repository while upgrading from unfixed to fixed version
- During distro upgrade (customer upgrades from unpatched SLE10 SP1 to
fixed SLE11 opensc => display the advisory)
Ways used in past did not cover all cases. People complained, that the
advisory pop-up blocks update.
