[softwaremgmt] ZYpp History Log
Hi! I'm about to commit the first version of new history logging for libzypp, which will be described at http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Package_History This will replace the old /var/log/YaST/y2logRPM; the new log will be written to /var/log/zypp/history by default, configurable in zypp.conf. As per discussion with a few people, there should not be much to do to adapt to this change (it seems that libzypp was the only one writing to this file). You should just be prepared to request the file from bug reporters, if needed, because you won't get the file in the /var/log/YaST dir tarball. Also bug reporting wiki howtos can be adapted. We also can consider making a backup of the old log and leaving a note with the new location (yast2-core package could do this perhaps?). -- cheers, jano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org

Sounds like you want to make things more difficult for developers and bugreporters... What about simply updating the save_y2logs script to include this logfile? Just add the following section near the end of the script: if [ -f /var/log/zypp/history ]; then LIST="$LIST zypp/history" fi BTW: save_y2logs is maintained by Stefan Hundhammer (sh).

Yup, Lada Slezak already came up with this idea, i did not know about that script. Thanx anyway. j.

Script fixed, but just for the default location of the history file. Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
