Zypper history summarise rpm changes

zypphist.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# Usage: sudo zypphist.py [options]
#
# Report change log entries for recent zypper installs.
#
# Options:
#   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
#   -i ZYPP_INSTALL_DAYS, --installed-since=ZYPP_INSTALL_DAYS
#                         Include anything zypper installed up to the specified
#                         days ago (default 1).
#   -c CHANGE_ENTRIES, --change-entries
#                         For matched zypper installs, report a given number
#                         of dated RPM change-log entries (default 1).
#   -g, --group           group packages by change-log text (for a minimum sized report)
#   -s, --group-by-source group packages by source-rpm and repository
#
# 2024-09-16 0900 Cleanup and made slightly more pythonic.
# 2024-09-16 1302 Use source-rpm, repo-name as the key for grouping.

Now uses the python-rpm bindings

When grouping (-g option), the script now groups by (source-package, repo-name) and reports these as well, for example:
