If you only want to query *locally installed* packages, you can just use rpm: rpm -qi kernel rpm -q --changelog kernel if you use DNF, it will get the info for packages that are in the repositories but not locally installed, as well. changelogs are kept and retrieved separately, I believe, as they aren't needed for any other operations, so that's why you see remote trips on both commands, I think. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
