When you have package updates available and go to the Software Update page, you will see something like the following text:


> Release updates
> ---------------
> 
> The currently installed release version is 4.1-2 errata202.
> 
> Package updates
> ---------------
> 
> Package updates are available. Detailed information about the updates.

The "Detailed information about the updates" links to https://errata.software-univention.de/ucs/4.1/ where I have to scroll down until I identify the next erratum relevant for the current errata level (which might even be different from one server to another).


It would be great if that page had less cognitive load and allowed me to check the available updates better.  I have a few alternate proposals, ordered by technical complexity:


1. Link to the outstanding errata on the page directly.

To do this, each <a> in the page at errata.software-univention.de has to get an id attribute like
  <li><a href="203.html" id="erratum203">203 for ucs 4.1-2 </a>Bugfix for univention-config-registry</li>

Then the link on the updates module is modified to always point to the next outstanding erratum (the current errata level is known on the current server), eg. for the example quoted above to
  https://errata.software-univention.de/ucs/4.1/#erratum203

Then when I click the link I'll automatically get to or near the currently relevant information.


2. Reverse the errata page order and use JavaScript

Normally, I am more interested in the latest erratum, that's why I'd reverse the order of errata on the page at errata.software-univention.de so the most recent ones are at the top.

We'd still link to https://errata.software-univention.de/ucs/4.1/#erratum203 but now instead of assigning such an id to the <a> (which would make the relevant information scroll out of view) a small snippet of JavaScript is added to the page which draws a line below the given erratum and thos allowing me to identify the outstanding errata easily.


3. Show the errata in the updated module

Both solutions above should be relatively easy to implement but improve the usage a lot already.

In my eyes the optimal solution would be if the list of errata was displayed in the updater module and linked to the errata pages directly.  Which is obviously a lot more complicated to implement.
