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
