the .changes file IS in the rpm:

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm used to seeing a changelog file somewhere in /usr/share/docs - I wasn't aware of the --changelog switch to see that info. Learned something new today. :)
he usage of SLE packages is a good thing and does make sense, but it seems there are some things that are less than ideal with this arrangement. Not being able to easily find the code for packages like this (I would never have thought to look under SUSE:SLE-15:Update even though I know SLE packages are used) is one such issue.
osc ls openSUSE:Leap:15.3:Update polkit
With 15.3 being your target, this seems much more intuitive and works too.
That's also good to know - though it does seem a little esoteric and involved for someone who's not an advanced user (I'm fine with using that myself, but for someone who's not a CLI guru who wants to know, this is a lot of information to know that they just wouldn't use on a regular basis). Seems like there should be a simpler way for the average end- user to get at this information, preferably even without using the CLI at all. Those of us who use osc (and I use it on occasion, but I'm by no means an expert on using it) tend to be building stuff, and the average end user has no need to even have the tool installed.
