Hi,

Does anyone know of any easy way of looking at the changelog to see what
.config is enabled/disabled. Is the config put up on the web somewhere? I
tried looking at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/. I got to
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=508380&name=srpm.log and
then realized I might have to download the RPM and see, since I could not
find anything in the changelog or srpm.log
