Es kommt häufiger mal vor, dass ich mir das Changelog eines RPM-Pakets ansehen möchte, bevor ich dieses Paket auf meinem System installiere.

Dazu kann das Kommando repoquery aus dem Paket yum-utils verwendet werden. Der Aufruf erfolgt nach dem Muster:

repoquery --changelog PAKETNAME

Das folgende Listing zeigt beispielhaft das Changelog zum Paket open-vm-tools:
