What are those xxx.1 updates?

usualy i have few packages to update every day.
But I had hundreds of those updates days ago and hundreds again now.
So, since ive never seen that in my short time on cachy medium time on endeavour or long time on opensuse i was wondering what were those updates all incrementing a -1 / .1 or -2 to the version.

As you will have noticed, there was a python update, causing a LOT of packages to be updated.
Also, there was a KDE update a couple of days ago causing the same.
I updated several times a day usually, and I had 163 packages ? yesterday or the day before?. That is quite unusual.

Because of the big python update the CachyOS repos were turned off and the updates came from Arch repos. Then cachy rebuild the packages for the optimised repos so those python packages got another update.

So totally normal and pretty rare to happen like this
