The upper right section lists the available (or already installed) patches for openSUSE.
To lter patches according to their security relevance, click the corresponding Priority
entry in the upper right section of the window: Security, Recommended,
Optional or Any priority.
If all available patches are already installed, the Package listing in the upper right section
will show no entries. The box in the bottom left-hand section shows the number of both
available and already installed patches and lets you toggle the view to either Available
or Installed patches.
Select an entry in the Package listing section to view a patch description and further
details at the bottom right corner of the dialog. As a patch can consist of several pack-
ages, click the Applies to entry in the lower right section to see which packages are
included in the respective patch.
Click on a patch entry to open a row with detailed information about the patch in the
bottom of the window. Here you can see a detailed patch description as well as the
versions available. You can also choose to Install optional patches—security and rec-
ommended patches are already preselected for installation.
