Am I the only one who updates TW infrequently and is annoyed that typically, more "upgrades" are displayed than fit a default vtty scrollback buffer, effectively hiding the much more intriguing list of new packages to install? I created a FATE:
You will always miss something. Pragmatic answer - run it under screen with large enough buffer. Running it under screen is recommended anyway ...
You do not need a huge buffer, just turn on logging-to-file.
How does one do that ... "turn on logging-to-file"?
And what does logging-to-gile accomplish that dumping a new packages listing instead of listing old packages to be updated right in your face does not?
It decreases complaining.
How?
It reduces the effort required from someone who apparently is not all that interested or who may not see this issue as something that needs to be fixed.
Not doing something is not doing something. In the real world, effort cannot be reduced below zero. What is logging-to-file, another component of that morass that is systemd's journal?
