python rpmChangelogs.py -h
Usage: rpmChangelogs.py [options] [rpm...]
Report change log entries for recently installed (-i) rpm's or for the rpm's
specified on the command line.
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INSTALLDAYS, --installed-since=INSTALLDAYS
Include anything installed up to INSTALLDAYS days ago.
-c CHANGEDAYS, --changed-since=CHANGEDAYS
Report change log entries from up to CHANGEDAYS days
ago.
-d, --description Include each rpm's description in the output.
Except for the optional addition of the description, the output is the same as the previous OpenSUSE only script.
My python is a little rusty - I just spent months doing Java - so I've also gone back over it and tried to tidy up the code.
The code
(Once you've expanded the code, hover over the code area to bring up options that make it easier to copy or print - requires javascript to be enabled.)
