Programming • Re: [Bash] Output changelog for upgradeable packages?

Hello,

What about Package: apt-listchanges (3.24) ?

Thanks! I definitely figured it out due to this suggestion after a bit of trial and error.

W/ apt-listchange, something just wasn't kicking in:
(Process substitution to work around folder permissions, and rev to grab the last column more easily)

It didn't pop up when I ran apt/apt-get update. Maybe it runs over apt-get upgrade? Never checked it because admittedly, my main package manager is nala.
In that vein, after installing & configuring apt-listchanges, I ran nala upgrade and got pop ups during the package updating, but since nala isn't equipped to deal w/ system prompts during the install process the system hung. I know that can wreck my system (and got an alert saying such lol), so after cancelling the install, I deleted apt-listchanges and decided on a different route.

This led me to the closely-related apt-get changelog, which does the trick:Definitely a hack job, let me know if you notice any one-liner rules I'm breaking or a more efficient way of (rip)grepping the important parts. I did learn that I could use print $0 w/ awk to grab all parameters which will definitely come in handy moving forward too.
