Only few maintainers would be interested in hunting for URLs of changelog web pages for minor/major releases. The benefit would be small. Users of open source software packages, which are sceptical of updates/upgrades, ought to fetch the source packages and take a look at the documentation files in addition to the package changelog. Conclusively, make it easy to fetch'n'browse the src.rpm for updates. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
