I do sometimes do "rpm -q --changelog -p foo.rpm" or "dnf changelog foo" (for example, to see what is changed since my installed version). Converting to an installed file means I would have to extract the RPM (possibly after manually downloading) and find it under a different directory for every RPM - much less convenient. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ 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
