PackageKit has always had a log viewer, but I would be the first to admit that it looked shite, and wasn’t really useful for anybody.
I’ve spent a couple of hours, adding more columns and adding a filter facility so that you can narrow down the results to something useful.
Use cases for this tool:
- Something in yesterdays automatic update broke firefox. What was updated?
- Did I update firefox last week?
- (for backends that support rollback) Take me to the snapshot before I installed XFCE
Comments welcome.
