Hi, The announcement emails aren't the only source to find out what the fix was for (whether a bug fix, sec. update, improvements etc..). You can download the rpm and query the rpm's changelog like this: rpm -qp --changelog whatever-1.2.3-fc2.rpm In fact (most of the time) what you will see on the announcement email is the last update to the changelog which is in the format (usually): * Date <developer name & email> <version & release of package> - Brief description of update... For example, this is from one of the emails (from fedora-announcement) regarding the xorg-x11 package update: --------------- cut here -------------------- * Mon Nov 15 2004 Kristian Høgsberg <krh@xxxxxxxxxx> 6.7.0-10 - Added xorg-x11-6.7.0-xpm-security-fixes-CAN-2004-0914.patch to fix a number of Xpm issues found by Thomas Biege <thomas@xxxxxxx> (#136169) ----------- cut here -------------------------- This is the very same information you'll get when you query the rpm's changelog. Hope this helps :) Jorge
