6 YaST Online Update
openSUSE oers a continuous stream of software security updates for your product.
By default, the update applet is used to keep your system up-to-date. Refer to Sec-
tion 5.5, “Keeping the System Up-to-date” (page 94) for further information on the
update applet. This chapter covers the alternative tool for updating software packages:
YaST Online Update.
The current patches for openSUSE® are available from an update software repository,
which is automatically congured during the installation. Alternatively, you can
manually add an update repository from a source you trust. To add or remove
repositories, start the Repository Manager with Software > Software Repositories in
YaST. Learn more about the Repository Manager in Section 5.4, “Managing Software
Repositories and Services” (page 90).
openSUSE provides updates with dierent relevance levels:
Security Updates
Fix severe security hazards and should always be installed.
Recommended Updates
Fix issues that could compromise your computer.
Optional Updates
Fix non-security relevant issues or provide enhancements.

functions. The following sections provide a brief description of each. To open the di-
alog, start YaST and select Software > Online Update. Alternatively, start it from
the command line with yast2 online_update.
6.1.1 KDE Interface (Qt)
