Thanks for your work on these packages. Do these packages contain a
blank TYPO3 site or is there some content already (like in the
Introduction Package).

How does creating those packages work? Is it a manual process or can it
be triggered automatically (e.g. using Jenkins, Ant/Phing, ...)? This
question seems to be important if it comes to Security Releases of the
TYPO3 Core - it would be great if the SuSE packages could be upgraded
within a given period of some minutes/hours.

This sounds like the deployment part that affects upgrading and
migration to newer versions. There's a TYPO3 Console project (currently
on hold) that allows to perform several basic actions on the command line.
Besides that, there are other vendors that might ship a TYPO3 Package
for their environment (e.g. Plesk) which utilize APSstandard
(http://apsstandard.org) to keep track of the required upgrades.

If you need support on that, don't hesitate to contact me directly -
otherwise, this list is just fine as well.

Cheers,
Olly
