ubuntu-package-changelog

------------------------

`ubuntu-package-changelog` can be used to get a changelog for

a given Ubuntu source package. Eg::

  ubuntu-package-changelog focal Updates linux-azure

  linux-azure (5.4.0-1043.45) focal; urgency=medium

    [ Ubuntu: 5.4.0-70.78 ]

    * CVE-2020-27170

      - bpf: Fix off-by-one for area size in creating mask to left

    * CVE-2020-27171

      - bpf: Prohibit alu ops for pointer types not defining ptr_limit

    * binary assembly failures with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS present (LP: #1919315)

      - [Packaging] quiet (nomially) benign errors in BUILD script

By default, only the latest changelog entry is shown. To see more entries, use the `--entries`

flag.

It's also possible to get a changelog for a package in a PPA::

  ubuntu-package-changelog -ppa cloud-images/eks-01.11.0 focal Release cni

  cni (0.6.0-0ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  [...]

It's also possible to list changelog entries for private PPAs. For that, `--lp-user`

must be given. Eg::

  ubuntu-package-changelog --lp-user toabctl --ppa fips-cc-stig/cc bionic Release fips-initramfs

  fips-initramfs (0.0.11~rc5) bionic; urgency=medium

  [...]

Installation

============

`ubuntu-package-changelog` is available as snap.

|Get it from the Snap Store|

For installation, do::

  snap install ubuntu-package-changelog

To access private PPAs, it's useful to connect the `password-manager-service`

so authorization is only done once::

  snap connect ubuntu-package-changelog:password-manager-service

The other option is installing it into a `virtualenv`::

  virtualenv venv

  source venv/bin/activate

  pip install -e .

  # now you can use the tool

  ubuntu-package-changelog -h
