DNF4-CHANGELOG(8)

💖 DNF4-CHANGELOG 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual for dnf4-changelog — it lives in the dnf-plugins-core family, and it's genuinely one of the most underrated little tools out there. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

dnf4-changelog — the DNF changelog Plugin 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, changelog is a plugin for viewing package changelogs. that's the whole vibe. you wanna know what changed in a package? this is the girl for the job. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• <package-spec> — this is the package specification for the packages you want to display changelogs for. yes queen, tell it which packages. 🍓

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

just so you know, all general DNF options are accepted — go peek at Options in dnf(8) for the full rundown, iykyk.

• --since=<date> — only shows you changelog entries from <date> onwards, like a little time filter ✨. and ngl, to avoid ambiguity, using the YYYY-MM-DD date format is recommended. don't be messy with it bestie.
• --count=<number> — caps it at a maximum of <number> changelog entries per package. so if you only want the top few, this is your girl. 🔥
• --upgrades — only shows the new changelog entries for packages that provide an upgrade for some of the packages you already have installed. it's giving "what's new for me specifically". 🙈
