man(8)

✨ NAME ✨

zypper-changelog — fetch changelogs of packages from the repositories. Yep, that's the whole vibe of this man(8) page, bestie 💖

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

zypper-changelog [-h] [-d] [-c] [-e] [-p PACKAGES] [-r REPOS] [-a] [-u]

Not me noticing -d is in the synopsis but never gets its own option entry 👀. We’re keeping it exactly as the page says.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

zypper-changelog is literally a tool to fetch the changelog of packages from the rpm repositories. Like, rpm -q --changelog can list the changelogs of installed packages, but there’s no available tool that could list the changelogs of packages that are not installed. And that feature is highkey useful before installing or upgrading a package, because you get to see what changes are going to be installed. Obsessed, honestly 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -p, --package [PACKAGE] — Package name or regular expression to match packages. Slay, match away 🔥
• -r, --repositorie [REPOS] — Comma separated list of repositores to search for changelogs. Yes, the flag is --repositorie and yes, the page says “repositores” — we’re keeping the lore 💀
• -h, --help — Show the help message and exit. The classic escape hatch 🎀
• -a, --all — Lists changelogs for all packages. All of them, no crumbs left 🌈
• -c, --commits — Print anly the headline of the changelog. That’s “only” with a little typo chaos, and we are not fixing the artifact, bestie 😭
• -e, --expression — Enable regular expression in package name. Regex girlies rise 💅
• -u, --update — Prints the changelogs of the upcoming system update. Peek the future before it installs 👑

🔁 RETURN VALUE 🔁

zpper changelog returns the changelogs of the requested or to be updated packages. That’s it, that’s the return value, periodt. And yes, the page spells it zpper — we’re preserving the typo lore fr fr 💀

💀 BUGS 💀
