Re: How to make yum history show more than the last 20 transactions?

Take my example. I have 137 yum history transactions on this server, the
first one from march 2010

Now that I have upgraded to FC15 I have made several updates, additions and
removals. (more than 20)

I wanted to look up the yum transaction where I did the system upgrade
(transaction 116) while tracking some bugs in my system, but the only way I
could do it was by

yum history list 116

I found out it was that transaction number by going all the way from 100
forward, listing one by one until I found it out. instead of issuing 16 yum
history commands.

If I had a list 100-118 or something similar I could have found out the
transaction number in just one command.

If I do yum history list $id I can list each transaction in yum,

How do I list an aleatory number, let say if I have 100 transactions I
want
to see between id 50 and id 60

It doesn't look like it is in the commands....

from man yum:
history [info|list|packages-list|summary|redo|undo|new|addon-info]

Stomach says such a config option isn't implemented because a use-case is
missing. Recording the last _few_ transactions makes sense, as it can be
helpful when chasing down some problem related to package installs. And 20
looks like a sane default. Recording the last 100 transactions (or more)
sounds questionable. IMO, at least.

Perhaps you can expand on your scenario a bit?
