Description Jean-Rémy Falleri 2005-10-05 00:03:31 UTC
Version:           0.5-rc (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It's a minor wish but I found it very usefull tough. 

It would be cool if adept could display the changelog of a selected package (by exemple a "See changelog" entry in the context menu which displays a dialog with the changelog in it), because it's sometimes needed to look what has changed in a package before installing it.

In the meantime, you can use apt-listchanges -- it will show you a list of changes before upgrading. I am not sure if it works 100% with adept, but it doesn't seem to cause trouble for me. I will look into implementing this in adept at some point for sure, though.

thanx for the tip, peter!
Comment 3 Peter Rockai 2006-05-06 11:46:09 UTC
Goes for updater as well (probably even more useful there).
Comment 4 Marco Cimmino 2006-06-06 00:49:29 UTC
It can be usefull if it's optional.
In my opinion if there are 200 packages to update it tooks a long time only to download all changelog...

Cimmo,
There is no need to automatically download all changelogs. It would be absolutely sufficient to only download one changelog at a time as the user tries to view it.

this bug is fixed by kubuntu devels
Comment 7 Peter Rockai 2008-03-09 15:36:51 UTC
This could potentially go to 3.0, which is being worked on. If no, then 3.1...

What's the status of this bug? It seems to work for some packages now in Adept 2.1--very nice!

Adept has been in the unmaintained state for a few years.  Use muon[1] as replacement .
