Sometimes an app gets a yunohost only update. The name changes then from appversion~ynh2 to appversion~ynh3.
But where can I easily find the change log for these updates? I could look at github repos and track changes of files, but that seems rather a lot of work.
Is it ever considered to display a change log in the ‘System Update’ interface?
That’s the right way.
Adding a changelog is in fact a lot of work, so it will complicate the maintainer work.
I have added a simple changelog page in the wiki of the package of lychee here
I did it mainly for me to have a clear view what I’ve done so far.
There is something that can be done but it should not make maintaining apps heavy.
true.
The things is; I now look at this possible update:
Nextcloud from 30.0.6~ynh2 to 30.0.6~ynh3
This is a very important app on this server; many users depend on it and nextcloud has gigabytes of data in it and I don’t want to run the risk of needles downtime because something breaks during the upgrade.
So to make a good decision, it would be good to know if this update is adding albanse translation to the readme or fixing a critical security vulnerability.
I wish there was an easy way to find that out
If it’s the case, there is an announcement in the security forum: Security - YunoHost Forum
But i agree with you, a changelog could be useful (the last nextcloud update enable searching of collectives from the unified Nextcloud search).
