Don't be a smartass. Of course you couldn't just get it from the binary. You might want to look in the src directory under updates for the patched src.
Oops, sorry if you understood it that way - hmm, maybe I should have left out the "And" at the beginning. What I was aiming at is, that if Suse (and all other rpm providers as well) change the behaviour of a well know package (such as apache-1.2.23) they should make the documentation of theses changes available to binary rpm users. I don't care when they change something that is relevant to the packaging process only, but otherwise, I'd like to know.
Ciao Jörg
