[opensuse-support] Read Changelog before package installation in Zypper
YaST has an interesting feature which allows to read the Changelog also for packages which are not yet installed. Is this also possible in Zypper? (Currently my work-around for this is to download the package first ("zypper install --download-only packagename") and then query the changelog with RPM ("rpm -q --changelog /var/cache/zypp/packages/<repository>/<architecture>/<packagename>-<version>.<architecture>.rpm").

Try: zypper update --dry-run --download-only -y Tomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Is that new? My YaST doesn't allow that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

And you are *sure* that is the changelog of the *new* package, and not the one of the currently installed one? I thought that info is only in the RPM metadata (rpm -q --changelog)..... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
