Description of problem: Under yum there exists an config option, so that an "yum update" will display all changelogs before installing. /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/changelog.conf: [main] enabled=1 # Set to 'pre' or 'post' to see changes before or after transaction when=pre # Set to true, to always get the output (removes the cmd line arg) always=true Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-1.0.1-2.fc22.noarch How reproducible: every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf update Actual results: Only the package name and version are displayed Expected results: That it is possible to see the changelogs for every package automatic. Additional info: I don't mean to call "dnf update info list" every time before an update, because this is inconvenient.
Thank you for the report. This is basically a request to port the yum-changelog plugin. I also think that it might be handy. We should just decide whether it should go into dnf-plugins-core or dnf-plugins-extras. The future assignee should note that so far, DNF/hawkey lacks the support for changelogs (see bug 1066867). But it does not mean that the plugin cannot be implemented without this support in DNF.

Same for F23
This issue continues to annoy in F28. Is this really blocked by bug 1066867? It seems that bug 850912 indicates that "update info" support is available? The full changelog is not needed here. dnfdragora shows "update info" for packages before installation. How much is really missing to have that available in a dnf plugin?
I think it really is blocked. We need to read changelogs from repository, before actual downloading the packages. However, work on packages changelog is almost finished. Regarding showing changelogs before update - I tend to implement it as a switch of `dnf check-update --changelogs` command.
There is --changelogs switch for dnf check-update. So to check changelogs of packages which are going to be updated you can use command $ dnf check-update --changelogs
