For those that don't follow the changelog list I put this package up last night. The package in contrib won't work on older distros so if you'd like to try it out on an older one then use the one on my site: http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/i586/9.0/RPMS/urpmc-1.2-0.90mdk.noarch.rpm (I know this works with 9.0 and 9.1, not sure about others I haven't tried them, the only difference between the contrib package and this one is the dependencies). This package will take the list of updates to do, group them by identical changelogs, then print out a list of the package you have and the package you will be upgrading to, showing the changelogs for every release since the one you have installed. Here is some sample output: http://ben.reser.org/irc/urpmc.out2 What it shows and what it does is of course configurable.
