Unless I'm mistaken it should be as simple as:

changelogtime[X] + changelogname[X] + changelogtext[X] =3D Line X of the
changelog.


Below I've cut-and-pasted a snippet from Fedora Tracker (starting at
line 352 of repo.py), which stores each package's changelog as a single
string. There is one gotcha to this, described in the comments.

Hope this helps,

P.S. I'm not a python or rpm guru, so if I'm doing anything stupid here,
let me know. =3D;)

if hdr['changelogtext'] and hdr['changelogname']:
	self.changelog =3D ""
	for clidx in range(0,len(hdr['changelogtext'])):
		# I've seen yum headers where changelogs with a single entry have the tim=
estamp (but not the other stuff)
		# stored as a string instead of a list. Tres annoying. =3D:\
		try:
			# Generates 'TypeError' exception on string
			len(hdr['changelogtime'])
			timestamp =3D time.ctime(hdr['changelogtime'][clidx])
		except TypeError:
			timestamp =3D time.ctime(hdr['changelogtime'])
		=09
		self.changelog =3D self.changelog+"* %s - %s\n%s\n\n" % (timestamp,hdr['c=
hangelogname'][clidx],hdr['changelogtext'][clidx])
