Subject: [PATCH] Document symbols in `dnf history list` output
|
|
|
|
This patch adds documentation for the symbols shown in the "Action(s)"
|
|
and "Altered" columns of `dnf history list`
|
|
|
|
The "Action(s)" column abbreviates the names of transaction actions when
|
|
there was more than one action, e.g. a transaction that both installs
|
|
and upgrades packages would be displayed as "I, U".
|
|
|
|
The "Altered" column prints some extra symbols when something unusual
|
|
happened with the transaction, like if any warnings were printed or if
|
|
it completed with a non-zero status.
|
|
|
|
Some language was taken from the yum man pages:
|
|
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/yum/blob/master/docs/yum.8.
|
|
It appears we no longer use the "P" or "s" symbols.
|
