[Synaptic-devel] FR: changelog

[Sviataslau Svirydau]

Hello,

There was a litle discussion in <sisyphus at altlinux.ru> mailing list 
with suggestion to make changelog available.
It's not so hard to make it for installed package versions, but more 
interesting to have it for new version or for not yet installed package 
to decide if upgrade/installation of package really needed or not.
It's not good idea to include changelog in apt indexes because of size. 
But at least for rpm there was workaround suggested: on request download 
rpm package header and fetch changelog from there (it should be 
perforned on apt-level, I think). And I can't say anything about debian 
packages, somebody can?

Any ideas?
