SUS update packages

[Dalmatian]

we've been using software update server for a long time. but sometime we want to check what does the new released update improve or what it changed by the update, there is always not enough information about it. even i can't find them on apple.com

This is bit upset when you don't know what does the update do on the list. like below

i can't google out any info about what's inside of Core Suggestions Configuration Data and MRT Configuration Data and so on.

anyone have idea where to verify the updates?

What pops up, if anything, when you click the little ( i ) button to the right of the update name?

Drop NetSUS, use Reposado and Margarita, you get output so much nicer:

I don't think Reposado is giving you anything other than the same descriptions that you get from an Apple SUS or from Apple's web site. The issue is that Apple's release notes are incredibly spartan and I don't know of any utility or service that expands upon Apple's own release notes for you. And, NetSUS is just Reposado anyway, just without with the Margarita front end.

[calumhunter]

yeah I wasn't sure if netsus even displays that meta data at all for the updates.

[bmarks]

You have to roll over the "i" but yeah it's basically still the same minimal info that Apple provides on the web or in their own SUS. This is one of those eternal issues that Apple just doesn't seem to care about ever addressing.

I'm having the same issue - big packages like Safari have the info and a link to get even more info.
Issue is with others like MRT Configuration Data - no info at all. What are these?
