About

The optional yum change log module provides a way to examine the change log of available repo updates or already installed RPM packages installed through yum.

Installation

The yum change log module is available through the default SME Server repo's, so no additional repo's are required. To install the module, as root enter:

yum install yum-changelog python-dateutil

After installation, yum change log is immediately available without any further configuration to either yum or SME Server.


Usage examples

Show the complete change log of the installed e-smith-base RPM:

yum changelog all e-smith-base

or

yum changelog all e-smith-base | less


Show the last[n] change log entries of the installed e-smith-base RPM

yum changelog 2 e-smith-base 


Show the latest change log of an RPM package that is available on one of the enabled repo's:

yum update e-smith-base --changelog


Show all changes logs of an RPM available through an available repo since a certain date:

yum changelog 01-01-2014 e-smith-base
