Hello Wolfgang, hello all, thanks to Wolfgang for the detailed answer. But I have three additional questions (to all): [...]
The last round of security updates you refer to were published on Sep 7th. Exactly at that day I've published the updates in my buildservice mozilla repository which is used by a lot of people. But those are no official packages as they are just gone through my own "QA" when published. So there is low risk that they are breaking things (which would get fixed fast though). For the official openSUSE updates there is a bigger process to prepare updates. [...]
(1) I had added yesterday I added "openSUSE BuildService - Mozilla URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/" just before reading the answer. Is this repo meant (and Wolfgang is the maintainer for that repo) or is there (an other) special RR (Rosenauer Repository)? ;) (2) If I have done nothing wrong in searching there is in all the openSUSE (Community) repositories only Thunderbird 3.1.3 [11] (which I am using to write this mail) and no 3.0.7 [12] - is there planned a change form 3.0.x to 3.1.x for the openSUSE 11.2 main repository?
How long this can take varies as for example we needed another patch to compile Firefox on released distributions which wasn't noticed before.
(3) Do you already know for which distribution versions has to be an additional patch (and for what purpose)? E. g. on my openSUSE 11.2 there is now running a Mozilla Firefox 3.6.9-1.2 (Software Manager says: "Changelog: 26 August 2010 (wr@rosenauer.org): - security update to 3.6.9 [...]") (form the repo mentioned under (1)).
