Thanks guys, that is pretty much what I want. But what if I want to see
the changelog for a package that I don't have installed? I'd like to
look at the changelog for a package available via yum before I upgrade
my existing package to it. When I did a "rpm -q --changelog mypackage",
that only showed changes up to my currently installed version. (Which
makes sense if this is just looking on my local machine, which I assume
it is)
Thanks,
- SG
