Hi guys, We (SUSE) are trying to unify our patch terminology, and also to separate better the update categories we have. Draft: http://en.opensuse.org/Maintenance/Code11/Terminology I have been trying to see how can we incorporate this into the metadata, so I have been looking into Fedora10 patches? <update from="[email protected]" status="stable" type="bugfix" version="1.4"> I also saw "newpackage" and "enhancement" ( I ignore all possible values ) Therefore, it seems type, represents the category or "Why is there an update?" part of the terminology. However, on the SUSE repos, we have been using this field as a replacement for the old "category" field: "security", "recommended". Which is the first part (Severity Rating - how urgent is the update ?). Do you have any suggestion how to converge in this field, and how it would be possible to support both concepts? Duncan
