Description Ulrich Beckmann 2019-02-16 15:34:25 CET

The output of snapper list should be delimited to 80 characters per line.

The actual command was # dnf upgrade $(cat mga6_23627.lst). This command is stored and expanded in the field description. There is no need to expand the command. It could be retrieved by history or dnf history.

Indeed the list could be much longer and the output of # snapper list would be then completely unreadable. Is is quite annoying!

Ulrich

btrfs is needed as root filesystem to install snapper and reproduce this issue.

You can get a readable format with the # snapper modify command, e.g.

# snapper modify -d 'dnf upgrade kernel-desktop-5.1.20-2.mga7-1-1.mga7' <pre-no> <post-no>

Sample output of dnf history and exerpt of bash history

Same issue applies to # dnf history.
Expanding the command makes the output unreadable.

This is an implementation detail of the snapper plugin for DNF.

The code in question that does this is here: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-extras/blob/master/plugins/snapper.py#L33
