Anyone have a link to this?

rpm -qp --changelog <rpm-name> | less

(where RPM is the actual kernel rpm in a directory on your machine)

NOTE: This works for any kernel RPM in any version of CentOS ... you can download the latest 6 RPM from here:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/x86_64/Packages/

(currently kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64.rpm)

.. OR ..

Look here:

https://git.centos.org/log/rpms!kernel/refs!heads!c7

then pick the "tree" link (the last link in the column on the right for the item tagged as "c7") .. then the SPECS directory, then kernel.spec file.

NOTE: that is only for centos-7 on git.c.o at this time) .. here is the latest CentOS-7 kernel SPEC file:

https://git.centos.org/blob/rpms!kernel/b2ed8cb9d657a1e15c2015dfb07aab75474f...

You can get this information yourself by issuing, on a fully up to date 6.6 machine, the following command: rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6

Since the resulting output is a bit over 32,000 lines, I'll not post it here. Use you favorite text-munging tools to stop the output at the kernel you currently have. (For grins and giggles, here's a suggested line: # rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6|head -n `rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6|grep -n 2.6.32-431|cut -d ":" -f 1` * Wed Mar 11 2015 Johnny Hughes johnny@centos.org - [2.6.32-504.12.2.el6] - Roll in CentOS Branding

Bonus points if you figure out a better line; that was just off the top of my head. There are probably options to grep to do that for you......
