Thanks for the advertising
If anyone has feature requests or bugs, pm me or open it on github. I really just whipped this up in an afternoon or so after seeing this post from Allan, so I'm sure it's not perfect.
]]>Fine, thanks!
I have started the thread just two days later pkgcl was made - earth information fields related magic definitely takes place
What you are asking about is changelog which you can see with pacman -Qc <pkg>
I'm asking about commit log (see svntogit example above).
]]>Yes, and my guess is: making this message ("Add two useful clients (FS#28173)" at this particular case) quickly accessible via simple CLI command would be handy for all archers (including the Arch team) during manipulating with packages.
The changes you are talking about are committed to SVN trunk. They accumulate until a new package is released. So 1 change /= pkgel+1, and there is no practical way to attach all of them to a given pkg upgrade. What you are asking about is changelog which you can see with pacman -Qc <pkg>. However, not every package has such a file, e.g.:
$ pacman -Qc exim | wc -l
30
$ pacman -Qc pacman
error: no changelog available for 'pacman'.
I'm curious how many archers ask "why" when this or that packaged was rebuilt (I don't mean upstream upgrade)
]]>'pacman -Qc' shows something different rather svntogit's log does. Say, 'pacman -Qc' shows nothing for 'virtuoso' package, while svntogit log shows something
That's because the 'pacman -Qc' changelogs are written by hand by the maintainers. Few of them bother. svn commits and changelogs are a better way of keeping up with the changes.
