[... removal of %changelog from rpms ...]
It'd be interesting to see how much space something like this would save first.
$ rpm -qa --changelog | wc -c
11597562
As they are stored compressed, it is much less:
| $ rpm -qpC --nodigest --nosignature *.rpm |LANG=C wc
| 511863 2364195 15619260
| $ rpm -qpC --nodigest --nosignature *.rpm | gzip -9 - | LANG=C wc
| 12338 67545 3136942
| $ rpm -qpC --nodigest --nosignature *.rpm | bzip2 -9 - | LANG=C wc
| 6339 37933 1813872
(FC3 binaries rpms).
All this discussion because of 2-3 MB additional space?
Um, you might try --changelog instead:
$ rpm --help | grep changelog
--changelog list change logs for this package
