It is not built on build.opensuse.org AFAICT. But the source is imported so you can rebuild and get the same result.

Cool, thanks. I think it would be nice if there was someplace to get a changelog rather than having to rebuild to see if it's in the patch.
osc ls SUSE:SLE-15:Update/polkit # shows the code osc less SUSE:SLE-15:Update/polkit polkit.changes
That last piece is what I was looking for. Thanks for that.
That's a definite disadvantage to using SLE code in Leap *if* we don't have that kind of visibility into the packages we've installed.
The build log is not available, but how would you see the changes from the build log anyway?
Everything else is similar to stuff built in build.o.o
I wasn't really thinking about the build log there, more "here's the code that was specifically used to build this package so you can inspect it" - or "here's a changelog that shows what has changed and when" - while that's included in the polkit.changes output, it's not in the RPM itself, so users who want to make sure something is patched don't really have an obvious place to look to see if a security issue has been fixed.
the changes file is in the RPM though: rpm -q --changelog polkit
The usage of SLE packages is a good thing and does make sense, but it seems there are some things that are less than ideal with this arrangement. Not being able to easily find the code for packages like this (I would never have thought to look under SUSE:SLE-15:Update even though I know SLE packages are used) is one such issue.
see andreas followup email.
Not being able to to search software.opensuse.org for packages for 15.3 is another (several people have reported issues with this - for example, searching for krita was one that someone had suggested), there is no package listed for 15.3. There's one for Tumbleweed and one for 15.2, but not for 15.3, and even for SLE-15-SP1, it's either 'experimental' or 'community'.
software.o.o might need some love, yes. Ciao, Marcus
