Description okungnyo 2016-09-22 11:54:58 UTC 
Description of problem:

There is no way to view changelogs (or is there?) with dnf.

Expected results:

It would be nice if there was a "dnf changelog" equivalent of "dnf upgrade", like how "dnf upgrade" gives you an at-a-glance list of all the packages that are upgradeable,
Comment 1 srakitnican 2016-09-24 11:28:48 UTC 
Is "dnf updateinfo" info what you are looking for?

Btw correct way of checking for updates is dnf update-check.
Comment 2 srakitnican 2016-09-24 11:32:13 UTC 
Got it all upside-down. 

"dnf updateinfo info" for the first command and "dnf check-update" for the second.
Comment 3 okungnyo 2016-09-25 18:18:38 UTC 
"dnf updateinfo" looks great, but I noticed that it doesn't list a changelog of every package.

Apparently it only lists update advisories of some packages, not the detailed changelog of every individual package?
Comment 4 Anatoli Babenia 2018-08-11 18:21:28 UTC 
dnf wzzup? :)

I'd like to see "dnf changelog" too. `updateinfo` is slow, not paged, competes with `update` autocompletion, lists only security changes, and hard to remember. I'd deprecate it.
Comment 5 Marek Blaha 2019-04-05 12:25:53 UTC 
There are several ways to work with changelogs in DNF:

1. get changelogs of packages which are going to be updated:
$ dnf check-update --changelogs

2. get changelogs of any package:
$ dnf repoquery --changelog <package>
