rpm_changelog_repoquery []

This is an old revision of the document!

You can also use -changelog for packages that are NOT installed with repoquery

First make sure the yum-utils package is installed:

        
              # rpm -qa | grep yum-utils

If not installed:

        
              # yum search yum | grep utils
yum-utils.noarch : Utilities based around the yum package manager

        
              yum install yum-utils.noarch

Example: Package NOT installed

        
              # yum search php56u | grep ^php56u.x86_64
php56u.x86_64 : PHP scripting language for creating dynamic web sites

        
              # rpm -q php56u.x86_64 --changelog
package php56u.x86_64 is not installed

Using repoquery

        
              # repoquery php56u.x86_64 --changelog | head
