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.
You are supposed to be able to see the latest sources of all packages through openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update, though due to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193413 this currently doesn't work for some packages.
In case of polkit this shows that the sources actually come from SLE-15-SP2:
$ osc meta pkg openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update polkit | head -n1 <package name="polkit" project="SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update">
This is all good info, and I appreciate it. That's a lot to know to check to see if a particular patch is available. I've been using SUSE since 2003, and I've never had to look for this info previously, so wouldn't have had the faintest idea how to even start finding it. For someone with less experience than me with the platform, this would seem to be something that could be made easier. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
