Fresh from the latest Git build:
This is nothing more than a nicely formatted /var/log/zypp/history, but it’s human readable, and it’s much easier to browse in that thing.
You can see the command that caused a change, and it’s no more
2024-10-14 18:47:28|command|root@meteor|'/usr/bin/ruby.ruby3.3' '--encoding=utf-8' '/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2start' 'sw_single' 'qt' '-name' 'YaST2' '-icon' 'yast'|
but simply
2024-10-14 18:47:28 YaST sw_single
and you can collapse and expand any of those sections.
On the left there is now the timeline (since the day of installation) for navigation, years as the toplevel, then months and individual days.
You can select a specific day, or an entire month, and the tree on the right will be filled with the zypp history for that day or month. Between days with activity you will see those without zypp activity greyed out, so you can get an instant overview how many days in the month you were busy with installing / removing packages, or with updating your system.
More at the Myrlyn issue tracker at issue #94.
You can download the latest version from my myrlyn-git home project repo, or build from source yourself.
