Hello,
I replaced yum by dnf few time ago but some I miss from yum is the changelog plugin which permit to see the changes brought by the new version of packages. I looked in the man page of dnf but didn't see such feature.
Does someone know if it's implemented or if it's gonna be ?
Regards
While dnf doesn't offer changelog display inline with the update process (via a --changelog argument, as yum-plugin-changelog provided), a fedoraforum user pointed out that dnf updateinfo info will display the text of update advisory notices, which covers most of the former yum --changelog upgrade output.
You don't get the detailed changelogs for packages that don't use update advisories, but it's at least a workable substitute. You can also use dnf updateinfo list to get a short listing of advisories, and a simple dnf updateinfo will produce a brief summary with counts of the outstanding update advisories.
Note that because dnf updateinfo doesn't refresh metadata by default, the most equivalent command to yum --changelog upgrade is probably something like dnf --refresh updateinfo info; dnf upgrade.
DNF right now is in a test-drive state. I guess more plugins will come in future (until DNF replaces YUM). There are some plugins available right now, you can see them in github page: https://github.com/rpm-software-management and of course you can request there the plugin you want to be included.
DNF is now an official package manager in Fedora 22. Did anything change?
