I hope there are plans to make this easier to find.
Yast could also show the patches currently being offered
and the Updater could offer to open the software installer.

I configured it to use the following repositories:
Filter:Repositories:
Unfortunately i don't see how to edit or change the list there.
The list of repos can be modified via starting YaST, module 'Software
Repositories'.
It should be made easy to call that module from here.

And in the Change Log i miss the version names in the list.

openSUSE Updater currently reports two security updates i don't see in Yast2.
And Yast2 just updated a few apps that Updater did not see.
This is because openSUSE uses thing called 'patches'. A patch is a bugfix, and
it might mean to fix several packages. Thus, applying a patch is different to
updating the packages.
openSUSE updater applies patches only by default. the 'Install Software'
module updates the packages.
Thank you, Stano.

Kind regards Philippe
