Hi!

I’m new in OpenSUSE and I wanted to know if there is a way to report when a new version of an application/driver/whatever is available, so the maintainer could update the correspondent package. In Arch Linux they provide a mechanism: Pkg: man-pages - Arch Linux Package Details You can click ‘Flag Package Out-of-date’ so you can send a message to the maintainer in order to inform him about a new version of that package.

For example: SDL_gfx package from the OpenSUSE repositories is out of date (version 2.0.17, but 2.0.18 available from Home of Ferzkopp - SDL_gfx), where could I report this?

Is there something similar for OpenSUSE?

Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

PS: I’m Spanish, so I’m sorry about my bad English :embarrassed:
