💖 YUM-CHANGELOG(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the dnf-plugins-core manual collection, and it's basically the glow-up era of yum-changelog — the page literally says it's redirecting to DNF changelog Plugin. no cap, this is the DNF-era version of the thing you remember. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

yum-changelog — redirecting to DNF changelog Plugin

like... the name is doing a little handoff. it's pointing you at the DNF changelog plugin and honestly? slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

changelog is a plugin for viewing package changelogs.

that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the plugin you hit up when you want to see what changed in a package, and it's lowkey iconic for that. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dnf changelog [<options>] <package-spec>...

okay so you call it as dnf changelog, you can throw <options> at it, and then you list out one or more <package-spec> things. periodt.

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • <package-spec> — Package specification for packages to display changelogs. so like, you're telling it which packages you want the changelog receipts for. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

first things first: All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details. so anything DNF itself takes, this takes too. iykyk. ✨

  • --since=<date> — Show only changelog entries since <date>. bestie, to avoid ambiguosity (their word, not mine 😭) they recommend using the YYYY-MM-DD date format. do that. trust. 🗓️
  • --count=<number> — Show maximum of <number> changelog entries per package. so if you only want a lil snack and not the whole buffet, this is your girl. 🍓
  • --upgrades — Show only new changelog entries for packages that provide an upgrade for some of already installed packages. it's giving "what's actually new for me specifically" energy. 🔥

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay these are the moment, fr fr:

Show changelogs for all packages since November 1, 2018:

dnf changelog --since=2018-11-1

Show 3 latest changelogs of package dnf:

dnf changelog --count=3 dnf

Show what is new in upgradable packages:

dnf changelog --upgrades

💀 reminder bestie: the --since=<date> option says to use YYYY-MM-DD to avoid ambiguosity — that's straight from the page, so don't come for me.

anyway that's the whole page, no notes, you're gonna do great with it 🎀

this little rewrite is serving version 4.10.1, dated Sep 27, 2025, straight from the dnf-plugins-core distribution. bye bestie, mwah 💋
