--> And the packages are there. If you run "YOU" or "fou4s" regularly
(at least once a week IMHO), you will notice them and can install
them. Or do it like me: mirror the SuSE FTP-server (or one of its
mirrors) and get a notification from the "mirror" program when there
is something new.

SuSE issues Security Announcements only for patches that fix severe
problems. All the little fixes and patches just turn up on the
FTP-server. And as you noticed, they are mentioned in the next (few)
security announcements that SuSE issues to the "suse-security" and
"suse-security-announce" mailing lists.

Regards,
Armin
