If there are available updates - it would be nice to know what the
changes are - ie show the changelog of the update - is there an option
in yum to show the changelog ? Or must we download the rpm and query it
by hand ?
If you have the "yum-utils" package installed, you can use the
"repoquery" command to read information from the repositories without
installing or downloading full packages:
repoquery --verbose --changelog <package_name> | less
There is also a yum-changelog package which adds a --changelog option
to yum. The output looks something like this:
# yum --changelog update

- Update system-config-audit to 0.4.8
- Whole lot of bug fixes - see ChangeLog for details
- Reimplement auditd main loop using libev
- Add TCP listener to auditd to receive remote events
It doesn't seem to work with "yum --changelog check-update" which would be
useful because I could run it overnight and pick changes which are critical on a
given system, but certainly check-update and repoquery can be linked by a small
script which will do the job.
Many thanks for pointing this out, it slipped by me, and perhaps a lot of others
as well.
