You can also install urpmc ('urpmi urpmc'). Then after you
update your sources, simply typing 'urpmc' will list all the
available updates (with version numbers) from all sources. EG,
tom # urpmc
club uses a synthesis file. Cannot output changelog.
Will list package names only. Reconfigure the medium to use
a hdlist file to get a changelog.
kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk -> kernel-source-2.4.22-25mdk
Even ones you may have in your /etc/urpmi/skip.list (I have
kernel-source in my skiplist). Suggestion, use
'synthesis.hdlist's for your sources, otherwise the list will
also include changelog, and could be very long. I get " Cannot
output changelog." because I only use synthesis.hdlist's.
