I am interesting in finding when a particular file changed in the packaging, say in the branding-openSUSE package. Right now I am able to access the full revision list at https://build.opensuse.org/package/revisions/openSUSE:Factory/branding-openSUSE?showall=1 but I have to manually navigate to every revision, download the .tar.xz file for all those revisions and examine the contents…
Isn’t there an easier way, say an offline git-like interface to OBS revisions?

Hi
Probably using osc and osc diff, but this means you need a local copy
to use the diff option against a particular revision on OBS…

What’s wrong with the diff interface of the webui or osc?
Hi Hennevogel – actually I saw your videos yesterday, they were quite nice and explanatory. Now in this case, as I said above, the web interface only gives me the difference in the packaging i.e. the spec file and such, not the difference in the contents of the tar.xz. Seeing the OSC page it is not clear to me whether OSC will provide a diff view inside the tar.xz which is what I want.
Glad you liked the videos 
To stay with your example of the branding package. The diff view shows changes inside the tarball, isn’t that what you are looking for?
