Get the changelog of a package with rpm
Ever run system updates in Linux (i.e openSUSE) and get a package that doesn’t seem to be changed and wonder why the update was pushed? Or just interested in following the latest changes to some of your favorite Linux packages?
With rpm you can view all the latest changes in an easily to read format. To get the changelog of a package with rpm you do the following:
$ rpm -q --changelog <package> | less
replace <package> with whatever ever package you would like to see the changelog for (i.e rpm -q –changelog banshee-1 | less)
This is for rpm based Linux distributions (i.e openSUSE, Redhat)
