RPM Package Changelogs: What You Need to Know

Hello

Today, let's learn a little bit about changelogs, when talking about RPM packages.

I hope you enjoy it!

In this video, we will be using RPM and DNF commands.


Thank you!
Wally

Very nicely explained @Waldirio !

The commands explained in the video :

  • rpm -q dnf   --> Queries the installed version of the dnf package
  • dnf check-update dnf --changelogs | less --> Lists available package updates along with their changelogs (i.e., what changed between current and upcoming versions)
  • dnf check-update --changelogs --> Shows if there's an update to DNF itself and what changes it brings.
  • dnf download dnf --> Downloads the RPM package for dnf without installing it.
  • rpm -q --changelogs rpm_package_name --> Shows the changelog of an already installed package.
