Feature changed by: Andreas Lorenz (fluidspace) Feature #305859, revision 7 Title: Make installation history accessible from Yast GUI openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo) reject date: 2009-03-30 20:17:10 reject reason: out of focus Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: As there is now (since openSUSE 11.1) a way to access the history of installed packages and their dependencies, it would be very useful if this history could be accessed from the Yast GUI. In the present implementation, zypper saves the history in a file (/var/log/zypp/history) which is very obscure. The history thus shown from yast should be able to show official-updates and non-official upgrades in different categories. Use Case: 1. Install new software, software not working (or not liked), look-up history start yast, look-up history, uninstall software and installed dependencies. 2. Online update, something goes wrong (upgraded software not working or something), look-up history to see recent updates and revert (all from yast). Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-03-30 20:17:59) this is a nice feature and it's on some TODO list already, but for 11.2 we like to do only the top 5 features on software management, so I reject it for 11.2 + #2: Andreas Lorenz (fluidspace) (2009-08-31 09:42:37) + Missing this feature, also. Over the years, I just don't know anymore + which packages were installed by myself, which were updates, which + dependencies came with them, etc. + Would make it so much easier to uninstall unneeded or plainly forgotten + packages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305859
