Querying all package history from the command line

Jul 16, 2013 | categories: pkgwat, fedmsg, datanommer, fedora, datagrepper View Comments

After my last post on querying datagrepper, I wrote it into my pkgwat tool as the second-coolest subcommand: $ pkgwat history PKGNAME:

$ sudo yum -y install pkgwat

$ pkgwat history firefox

Where does the "wat" come from in "pkgwat"?

I was surprised to learn that lots of folks didn't know where the "wat" came from in the name of my "pkgwat" project.

...it comes from this amazing lightning talk.
