Add changelogs to the packages in the repository
It would be nice to have changelogs for the packages in the repository.
When yum presents upgrades for installed packages, there is just a version number - no information of what is changed in the package. This information could be useful in determining whether to install the upgrade or not - it may break existing code instead of fixing issues...
Even just a link to a changelog in the common open source code on which the package is based would be useful.

reporter I just found the package yum-plugin-changelog in the repository, which by the description seems to provide the exact function that I requested.
I installed the package with success - but it does not seem to have any effect:
yum changelog No such command: changelog. Please use /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/yum --help
Am I doing something wrong?

We've started to add changelogs to packages. A handful are available now and more will have changelogs added as we update the packages.
To use any of the
yum-plugin-*
packages, plugins need to be enabled in yum need to be enabled inyum
by addingplugins=1
to/QOpenSys/etc/yum.conf
first. -
reporter Adding
plugins=1
to the yum config file did the trick - thanks! -
