DNF5-HISTORY(8)

NAME
dnf5-history - History Command

SYNOPSIS

dnf5 history <subcommand> [options] [<transaction-spec>]

DESCRIPTION

The history command in DNF5 allows the user to view what has happened in past transactions and offers several operations on these transactions, like undoing and redoing them. In order to use the transactions in these commands, it is assumed that they were committed while using the history_record configuration option.

For more information about <transaction-spec> see dnf5-specs(7), Patterns specification.

SUBCOMMANDS

list
    List info about recorded transactions in the system.
    If no <transaction-spec> is specified it uses all transactions.

info
    Print details about specific transactions.
    If no <transaction-spec> is specified it uses the last transaction.

undo
    Revert all actions from the specified transaction.
    Exactly one transaction must be specified by <transaction-spec>.

redo
    Repeat the specified transaction.
    Automatically uses --ignore-extras and --ignore-installed.
    Unlike the rest of history commands it overrides reasons for transaction packages that are already installed.
    This command is useful to finish interrupted transactons.
    Exactly one transaction must be specified by <transaction-spec>.

rollback
    Undo all transactions performed after the specified transaction.
    Exactly one transaction must be specified by <transaction-spec>.

store
    Store the transaction into a directory.
    If no <transaction-spec> is specified it uses the last transaction.

--reverse
    Reverse the order of transactions in the output.

    Show only transactions containing packages with specified names.
    This is a list option. Globs are supported.

OPTIONS FOR UNDO, ROLLBACK AND REDO

--skip-unavailable
    Allow skipping packages actions that are not possible perform.

OPTIONS FOR UNDO AND ROLLBACK

--ignore-extras
    Don't consider extra packages pulled into the transaction as errors.
    They will still be reported as warnings.
