Hello CentOS users,
Is there any sort of package tracking system for CentOS?
I'm used to Debian where I can view a changelog for each *Debian*
specific package. This is great because I can see specifically what has
been fixed and what known issues remain from release to release in the
Debian package, which is subtly different from the upstream release.
For instance, I can see what's changed from "apache2.1-debian.deb" to
"apache2.2-debian.deb" by using the Debian Package Tracking System.
(I'm fudging the package names, but you get the idea). Is there
anything like that in CentOS?
Thanks,

Maybe this does what you want: "rpm -q 'package name' --changelog"

Thanks guys, that is pretty much what I want. But what if I want to see
the changelog for a package that I don't have installed? I'd like to
look at the changelog for a package available via yum before I upgrade
my existing package to it. When I did a "rpm -q --changelog mypackage",
that only showed changes up to my currently installed version. (Which
makes sense if this is just looking on my local machine, which I assume
it is)
Thanks,
