When I get an update via update-manager for a software like blender/vlc, I like to see what has been fixed/changed. But the software updater doesn't show me the changes from a ppa added software.



I added the ppa for blender/vlc (this only applies to the software I added a ppa for)



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender


And vlc like this.



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc


And when i run update-manager, or update manager pop-ups

I see that vlc/blender have updates but, I can't see what has been changed/fixed



this is the message I get, the screenshot below is for mupen but it's the same thing.

(I updated vlc and blender, didn't wanna wait for the next update)



update-manager-ppa-update-error?



This update does not come from a source that supports changelogs.


(by the way I have a dutch Ubuntu, so the above text i Google translated it!)

It only shows which version you have and to which version you be upgrading to.




So my question is, how do I get the change-log tab of update-manager working. If it's even possible?

PPA does not seem to support changelogs, there is even a bug reported in Launchpad about it:



Bug #253119 “PPA packages do not show a changelog in update-mana...” : Bugs : Launchpad itself
