With this history function, past installation tasks could be listed, and even undone. example usage: zypper history info: list history -> every step in history has a dedicated number zypper history undo $number: undo the installation This could also be very useful on software testing. If one wants to take a look at the current status of e.g. KDE and uninstall it afterwards. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314707
